Memento Mori Skull Key Russia 1900
-
Description
For the Memento Mori collector, we offer this incredible key with hand carved Skull. Intricately executed, the key's purpose is a mystery. The box that the key came in has a crown and is distressed, and the skull has old age cracks but it is well over a hundred years old. We believe this to be Russian in origin, as there are old Russian silver marks on the key's shaft.
