Very beautiful Memento Mori with the effigy of a dancer from Borneo, entirely hand sculpted by our artisans in our Workshops.
Each piece is unique, horn, bone, wood,... as many materials to reveal the original character of each piece.

A unique eyeline to impermanence, ephemeral and Vanities.
The expression "Memento mori" comes from the latin locution "remember that you will die", a formula from medieval christianity.
Expressing the vanity of earthly life, it refers to the "art of dying", or Ars moriendi.
It embodies an ethic of detachment and ascesis.
It is close to another Latin locution: "Sic transit gloria mundi" ("Thus passes the glory of the world").

Its origin dates back to the Greco-Roman Antiquity, when a slave stood alongside a victorious general during his triumph in order to remind him of his mortal condition.
The Locution "hominem te esse" ("You too are a man") was also used.

This vision of the human condition has given rise to many artistic representations, such as those you can discover here.

This atypical object presented on a matt black metal and wood base, will be fabulous, truly original and uncommon to sublimate your decoration.
Perfect for offering or decorating!
