symbols of death and memento mori  

Definición

  • Images or symbols that represent death have been incorporated into visual and literary culture since classical antiquity. They range from more overt personifications of death, such as a skull or the familiar black-hooded figure carrying a scythe popular at Halloween, to more abstract and subtle depictions, such as an hourglass or brokenstemmed rose.
