The Winged Skull is the quintessential symbol that captures the essence of the Memento Mori cemetery symbolism. Found carved into tombstones all over the world since the 16th century. "Memento Mori," a Latin phrase that translates to "Remember you will die" or "Remember death." This philosophy reflects on the inevitability of death and serves as a reminder to live each day fully, recognizing the fleeting nature of life. The winged skull symbolizes the union of death (skull) and the afterlife (wings), suggesting the spiritual or divine transcendence that may follow mortality. The wings on the skull represent the soul's journey beyond the physical realm, signifying its potential for transformation or release from earthly bonds. The combination of these elements creates a powerful image that encourages contemplation and introspection. Today, the winged skull continues to resonate as a powerful and thought-provoking symbol. It serves as a poignant reminder to live with intention, appreciate the present moment, and contemplate the mysteries of life and death. This is a heavy duty vinyl and is weather and water proof. Great for laptops, notebooks, car, etc. It would be a great gift to the the cemetery lover in your life, even if that is you!
