1759 GEORGIAN MEMENTO MORI WAX SEAL FOB

Keep a weather eye on Metal Corset II for sterling silver jewelry created with this impressive Georgian, around 1759, memento mori wax seal fob.

Memento mori is a Latin phrase translated to, "Remember you will die."  You know, kind of an ecclesiastical way of keeping humanity in check. :-)

This Georgian wax seal fob depicts a crowned skull and crossbones under the motto, "MEMENTO MORI," flanked by a sovereign's orb and fleur de lis sceptor.

Last photo shows the impression in sterling silver.
