About the Item

A finely carved solid marble bust depicting a hooded skeletal figure, this striking memento mori sculpture presents a smooth, polished skull emerging from deeply folded drapery that cascades across the shoulders and chest. The artist has rendered the anatomical details—such as the teeth, nasal cavity, and jawline—with careful precision, while the enveloping cloak adds a dramatic, almost monastic presence. Subtle veining in the marble enhances the sense of age and gravitas, giving the piece both sculptural weight and symbolic resonance as an evocative representation of mortality.
