Ribcage Reliquary with Hanging Skull

Description

A neo-traditional, illustrative thigh piece showing a suspended skull hung on three vertical lines above an exposed ribcage cradling a red jewel. Horns and floral sprigs frame the composition while a small bird perches on one horn. Skull and ribs suggest mortality and vulnerability; the jewel hints at inner heart or soul, and the bird and foliage symbolize hope and renewal.
