Deep empty orbits, a sharp inverted-teardrop nasal aperture, heavy cheekbones with the temporal lines cut in behind them, and a full set of \u003cstrong\u003eteeth\u003c\/strong\u003e top and bottom. Across the top of the cranium runs a carved \u003cstrong\u003esuture line\u003c\/strong\u003e, the seam where the skull plates meet — a detail almost nothing at this size bothers with, and the thing that separates a real skull from a cartoon one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esnake\u003c\/strong\u003e comes over the crown from one side and lays its head flat on the brow, looking straight out between the eye sockets. Its body wraps down the side of the skull, loops out clear in front of the jaw, and the tail curls free below the chin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery scale is cut individually — fine imbricated scales across the back, banded scutes underneath — and the snake's eye is set with a \u003cstrong\u003esmall red stone\u003c\/strong\u003e, the only colour anywhere on the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is satin almost throughout, which is the right call: bone should not shine. Light catches the scale edges and the teeth and nothing else fights for attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant is \u003cstrong\u003ehollow with a solid back\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is what keeps a 2.25” skull at a weight you can actually wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy You’ll Love It:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHollow with a Solid Back\u003c\/strong\u003e – Full 2.25” skull at a wearable weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarved Cranial Suture\u003c\/strong\u003e – The seam of the skull plates cut across the crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale-by-Scale Snake\u003c\/strong\u003e – Imbricated back scales and banded belly scutes, cut separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Stone Eye\u003c\/strong\u003e – A single set stone in the snake's eye, the only colour on the piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSatin Throughout\u003c\/strong\u003e – Matte finish so the bone reads as bone rather than metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order, turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.25” in height including bail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBail Opening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHollow with a solid back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle set stone in the snake's eye\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Weight by Purity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox.
