    I am pleased to offer from my private collection this exeptionally rare antique English
    Victorian Mourning Memento Mori Skull / Skeleton ornate black enamel sterling silver  ring.
    A must for every serious collector.
    A large and very impressive mans ring.
    The ring is size- US-11.
    Hallmarked with English hallmarks for sterling silver.
    This is
    a link to the tradition of the memento mori - an object designed to remind us that life is brief and that we should seize the moment while we are here.
    Since the beginning of time,the skull is been used as a symbol of mortality, victory, the ultimate Memento Mori.
    The skull represented the contemplation of eternity.
    In Elizabethan England, it was an emblem of bawds, rakes and sexual adventure. Its a symbol men, in particular, have always loved to paint, carve, cast, and wear.
    Provenance:This unique piece comes directly from the famous Skulls collection of Dr.Atanas Karamanov,who was the personal physician to King Ferdinand I of Bulgaria.   Dr.Karamanov was also a member of
