18th-Century Baroque Antique Carved Wooden Memento Mori In The Form Of A Human Skull With A Death Crown
An 18th-century Baroque antique carved wooden Memento Mori, formed as a human skull and carved in the round, so as to be seen from all sides.

With a foliate and fruiting death crown placed on top of the skull. The skull rests upon a single elongated bone.
Decorated in original polychromy.
Provenance – Ex-private collection, Austria.
