Late 18th century carved stone skull with latin inscription.

An amusing carving the skull with its tongue sticking out and the words DIES ITUE carved into its fore head this is Latin for length of days ,rather fitting text for a skull / death motif i think.

Probably from a georgian folly or  tomb ,but most definately comissioned by a gentleman with a sense of humour.

In good condition,weathered in places but still with a good definition

(The stand is for display only)
