From Mother Eagle’s Graveyard, Midwinter ’12 Collection.
...The last
of three magickal skulls in Mother Eagle's possession, this one will speak the
location of any object desired when two silver sixpence's are placed in it's
eye sockets...
This is a hand-embroidered Human Skull at three-quarters set into a custom
made birch wood pendant. The skull is stitched in 100% cotton threads and is worked on
to fine vintage cotton, which has been lightly dyed using organic tea, giving a
lovely antiqued mottle.

This design has been worked in split stitch, the
curves of the thread following the contours of the skull, and outlined in fine back stitch. It is mounted into a beautiful circular pendant which has been custom made to
my specifications. It completely encloses the embroidery, in sturdy but light-weight
and sustainably sourced birch wood. The wood has been treated in a non-toxic
natural wax by my own hand, and is decorated with burnt dots.
It measures 48mm (plus 15mm for the tab and bail) in diameter and is 5mm thick. It hangs on an extra-long 36” antique brass finished copper chain. This chain is
of the highest quality - every single link of this chain has been soldered.
This, along with the bail and lobster clasp, are lead and nickel free, and
chosen to provide you with a lifetime’s wear
