Memento Mori Necklace | Skull & Snake Talisman

The skull in the memento mori tradition marks death as a fact to be accepted, the finite container of the infinite aspiration. The snake coiled around the skull adds the alchemical dimension: the serpent of transformation, the Ouroboros principle applied locally. The skull does not simply mark death. It marks the death that is also a shedding: the snake that leaves its old skin behind is not dying. It is completing the cycle that the old form had become too small to contain. Skull and snake together say two things simultaneously: this ends, and this is how it becomes something else.

∴ Carry the same symbol together: pair this necklace with the Viperskull Token Dog Tag — the same mark, one at your neck, one at their collar.

925 sterling silver base. Available in White Gold Plated, Yellow Gold Plated, and Rose Gold Plated finishes. Suspended on a matching chain.
