Likely late 18th / early 19th century memento mori skull cross carved from bone.
Beautifully hand carved with stacked skulls along the vertical shaft and additional skulls to each arm - a striking devotional reminder of mortality.
Likely Italian or Southern German work, circa 1780- 1850.
Carved from animal bone with lovely natural patina and age wear.
A wonderful piece of early memento mori jewellery.
