About the sculpture
The belief in universal judgement after death encouraged the production of objects that would act as a memento mori, or reminder of mortality. Good conduct depended to some extent on the knowledge that death awaited everyone. This head, possibly from a rosary, shows a young woman on one side and a skull on the other.
