Sculpture, Mémento Mori - Buste d’empereur - 5 cm - Deer antler - 1950
Rare opportunity!
Memento Mori from a French collection and dating from the end of the 19th century, very beginning of the 20th century. The quality of the production of this Memento Mori is remarkable. This is a bust of an emperor with a double face embodying life and death, produced with great finesse of details, such as the teeth, the hair but also the respect of proportions, etc. A truly refined work that echoes the theme of the "Memento Mori".*
The sculpture rests on a blackened wooden base.
*Memento Mori literally means "Remember that you will die." It is an artistic theme that recalls human mortality, often represented through works or objects intended to encourage reflection on the fleeting nature of life.
I invite you to consult all the photos which attest to the quality and condition of the object for which you are about to bid.
It will be very well packaged and protected to reach you quickly by postal parcel with tracking and insurance.
Happy bidding!
