Important memento mori in boxwood carved in the round with a patina, a head divided by a median line: on the right, a mortuary face with baldness, closed eyes and chapped lips, attacked by worms, a worm escaping from the eye and another from the ear; on the left, a flayed head with a skull that has kept its eyeball and on which rests a large lizard whose mouth grasps the end of the worm coming out of the ear.
Germany, 17th century
