Lignum Vitae wood Skull

one of my Classic skull pendants. a fully anatomical hand carved study of an adult human skull.
painstakingly hand carved from Lignum vitae wood, “the tree of life” valued for its iron like toughness and beautiful colour, this rich dark wood has a delicate perfumed aroma that lingers for hundreds of years within the timber. this wood also darkens and develops its own unique polished patina when worn giving the look of something hundreds of years old within days of being carved.
hung on a hand woven Black rope cord with matching toggle fastener.
