Antique Neapolitan patinated bronze sculpture "Momento Mori." 19th century.

Ancient Neapolitan sculpture in patinated bronze resting on a non-coeval marble base depicting “Momento Mori”.

Refined and evocative Momento Mori tabletop sculpture in the shape of a skull linked to the Vanitas theme, dating back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The sculpture cast from a single block of metal stands out for its extraordinary material rendering where the surface appears dark and deliberately rough.

Conditions: Excellent condition.

Provenance: Naples 19th century.
