This piece is more than a carving; it is a meticulous study in form and shadow. Plum wood is known for its tight grain and tendency to develop a deep, reddish-brown hue over time—a unique stain that makes the finished piece particularly rich and dark.
Carefully used hand tools to bring out the subtle textures of the bone structure, from the deep shadows in the eye sockets to the intricate detail of the teeth. Each facet and curve highlights the unique character of the wood while celebrating the classic memento mori tradition.
This is a perfectly sized piece for a desk, bookshelf, or curiosity cabinet, offering a sophisticated, gothic touch to any interior space.
