This scary head/skull is from a German rosary that was made over 500
years ago. Here’s its description from the Metropolitan Museum of Art:
[This shows] the head of a deceased man, with half the image eaten away from decay. Such images served as reminders that life is fleeting and that leading a virtuous life . . . is key to salvation.Well, isn't that lovely!
