Across cultures and history, the skull has carried powerful meaning. In Renaissance art, it served as a memento mori — a reminder that life is fleeting and meant to be lived with intention. In ancient traditions, skulls symbolized strength, wisdom, and the energy of those who came before us.In Christianity, the skull is tied to Golgotha, “the place of the skull,” symbolizing redemption and the triumph of eternal life. And in many spiritual practices, it represents letting go of the physical world and stepping into deeper understanding.A timeless symbol of mortality, resilience, and transformation, the skull invites us to reflect on life’s big questions — and to live boldly while we’re here.Handcrafted in Los Angeles in solid brass.Small is approximately .3 x .6 inchesMedium is .5 x 1 inchEasy to use: the locking pin back has a simple on-off action.
