Old or Antique Estate Bronze Skull Memento Mori Stick Pin with Glass Eyes
About the Item
A fine vintage Memento Mori stick pin.
With a figural bronze skull with glass eyes mounted on a gold filled pin shaft.
The skull has a textured surface & detailed teeth and is mounted on a long pin stem.
One glass eye retains most of its facets, and it sparkles and reflects light. The second eye is fractured, retains only about half its original volume, and has a deadened look because it reflects comparatively little light.
Simply a wonderful antique Momento Mori!
