About 5 cm wingspan, stainless steel, on a 60 cm braided chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA piece with character, not a Nordic symbol\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet's be clear: the winged skull does not belong to Scandinavian iconography. It is a motif from the modern repertoire—that of bikers, rock, and tattoos—and that is perfectly fine. If you are looking for a large, dark piece rather than an amulet steeped in mythology, this one does the job.

The meaning was explicit: the soul takes flight, the body remains. The motif then softened into an angel's head, then an urn, as religion became less severe. It is this old memento mori that the biker repertoire reclaimed in the 20th century, keeping the image while losing the sermon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you are wearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive centimeters in wingspan, making it one of the widest pendants in the catalog.
