The coming end of the year is often a time for reflection. When I question whether I can continue my studies, due to poor health, I am reminded of this glorious grave marker from Crailing Old Parish Churchyard, the King of Terrors, and my enthusiasm is renewed ☺️

This silver watch case is shaped like a skull - the jaw hinges down to reveal the dial. The skull is decorated with a floral pattern and a scene on the forehead featuring Adam and Eve with the snake. 17th cent.

Let’s take a closer look at this jaunty skeleton- it was originally part of a cabinet of curiosities alongside items such as sculptures and globes. It appeared in a 1772 inventory of Basel's Faesch Museum (@HistMuseumBs) #skeleton #mementomori #MementoMoriMonday
