A one-of-a-kind handmade gothic wall decor piece, created for lovers of dark, macabre and occult aesthetics. This unique composition is inspired by Cerberus — the guardian of the gates of the underworld — combining handcrafted structure with real bone elements and symbolic detailing. This frame was not assembled — it was built. Designed from scratch, cut, sanded, stained and lacquered entirely by hand. Solid wood, shaped into a hexagon that echoes the geometry of a reliquary — something meant to hold things that matter. The interior panel is resin, worked over several days using a technique that produces what I call the blood marble effect: deep crimson pooling beneath the surface, veined and still, like something preserved mid-motion. It does not look painted. It looks like it grew that way. The three mink skulls are real. Positioned, not placed — each one considered. Each skull has been fitted with hand-sculpted ears and tongues, shaped and painted by hand. _______________________________ Details: Handcrafted wooden hexagon frame (stained) Deep red velvet back Three real mink skulls with handscuplted ears and tongues Decorative chains Silver crow ornaments Small skull elements Reflective resin panel with marble-like, 3D effect, handmade Ornamental plaque with Latin inscription _______________________________ Processing: Ready to hang.

He was not a creature of chance. He was part of an order that predates the gods. He had fifty heads, wrote Hesiod. Pindar gave him a hundred. Later sources settled on three. The number does not matter. What matters is what he guarded: a boundary that is not crossed twice. The living entered Hades only three times. Orpheus — with a lyre that lulled the hound to stillness with song. Psyche — with honeycakes that silenced him with sweetness. Aeneas — with a golden bough that opened the way without a word. Heracles came without music, without honey, without gold. He came with his bare hands and the permission of Zeus. He strangled him. Dragged him into the light. Where Kerberos's saliva touched the earth, aconite grew — the first poison, the first plant of death. Then he was led back. And he has not moved since.
