White quartz skull, 'Mesoamerica' (small)

Sculpting this skull from white quartz, Brazilian artists Taomi and Fernando draw their inspiration from Mesoamerican rites. Symbolic of the passage from the living world to the realm of the dead, the skeletal image evokes a sense of mystery and secrecy, which is further enhanced by quartz's mystical powers.
