Incense Burner: Skull in Rose Garden
Gothic, romantic, and extraordinarily beautiful — the Skull in Rose Garden Incense Burner is the most hauntingly beautiful piece we carry.
A skull, cradled in a garden of roses — the most beautiful of flowers embracing the most profound symbol of mortality. This is vanitas imagery at its most beautiful: the rose, cut and blooming but destined to fade, and the skull, stark reminder of mortality, together create one of the most powerful visual statements in Western artistic tradition. Nothing blooms without dying; nothing dies without having bloomed. The Skull in Rose Garden Incense Burner is simultaneously the most romantic and the most philosophical piece in our collection.
