Pt. 1 of my miniature recreation of a St. Bart's Hospital Museum display & the gnarly medical history that goes with it. #stbarts @StBartsHospitalMuseum @ErmerlindaJ
@ErmerlindaJ @DrLindseyFitz @DeborahJarman5 Kate, I haven't been on Twitter in months & am just seeing this. Still one of my favorite pieces ever!! I'm so glad you have it.
A tiny enamelled skeleton stands ready with dart and hourglass on a background of hair in this gold mourning slide. The skeleton is flanked by the letters A.B. 17th cent. (Another if the fantastic slides from my visit to @Holburne) #mementomori#skeletonΒ #mourning
