Hand-poured and cast in-house in 100% pure beeswax, this sculptural skull is a candle in the classical tradition of the memento mori—a reminder of mortality, impermanence, and the preciousness of the life we are given.

As it burns, the skull gradually gives way to a pool of golden light, becoming a small waxen luminary that can hold a small electric tea light if desired. 

A fitting companion for autumn tables and ancestral remembrances.

This candle measures 3"W x 4" L x 3" H, and weighs ~9oz

100% Pure Beeswax with 100% Cotton Wick

Caring for your beeswax candle:

Always light candles upright on a heat-proof surface within sight,away from flammable materials, and out of reach of children or pets.

Keep wick trimmed to 1/4" in length and out of the path of fans or drafts to prevent uneven burning.

Beeswax naturally develops a soft whitish bloom on the exterior of the candle over time. This is harmless and you can enjoy the effect as the natural character of beeswax, or if desired you can remove it by wiping the candle with a soft damp cloth.
