Human Sphenoid Pendant by Mechanical Whispers
Human Sphenoid Pendant by Mechanical Whispers
This unique piece of jewelry is part of the Mechanical Whispers Catacomb Collection: a one-of-a-kind jewelry collection created by artist Robert Morris, and inspired by European catacombs and ossuaries. This particular design has been modeled after a human sphenoid bone, found within the skull, that some consider resembles a butterfly and is arguably the most beautiful and ornate bone in the human body. This entire collection has been designed from an actual human skull and bones that have been carefully scanned and prepared for 3D printing and casting with the highest detail possible. A perfect gift for someone with an appreciation for dark elegance.
