My dear, never underestimate the power of a good omen, or a particularly compelling piece of macabre poetry. This figurine is a silent conversation with the darker, more mysterious corners of history.
I acquired this ominous duo in a shadowy antiques market in Vienna, a city famous for its dramatic architecture and complicated thinkers. The seller swore the raven—a creature associated with both knowledge and prophecy—served as a faithful, if morbid, oracle for a highly respected but rather eccentric gentleman of science. I felt it only appropriate to add it to my collection of treasured, sometimes unsettling, artifacts.
This striking piece is a testament to detailed craftsmanship:
The Skull: The foundation is an aged-looking skull, rendered in hand-painted cold cast resin, with realistic cracks and bone structure.
The Raven: Perched deliberately atop the cranium is a realistically textured black raven, its gaze fixed on the future—or perhaps judging the present company.
Size: The piece is substantial enough to make a statement, measuring approximately 6 1/2" X 3 7/8" X 8 1/2".
Place the Nevermore Oracle where its silent wisdom can influence your decision-making, such as near a library or writing desk. Let it whisper subtle reminders that true insight often comes from unexpected, sometimes darker, sources.
