Gothic Styled Stacking; The Skulls of Character Collection

Tis the month of Haunting, set thy Dapp on Night mode if you dare.🌙

“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven

Introduction

In the Gothic fictional world of the Bloody Raven, Cursed Silver is a form of currency traded in the supernatural realm among independent entities, for contractual obligations, payment in kind, and/or for their own secret clan interests. Just as physical laws govern the real world, so do spirit laws that govern the spiritual realm.

Amongst those that aligned to Nightwalkers (Vampires) cursed silver coinage tend to be the silver of choice. Innocuous and indistinguishable to normal human beings except to those gifted with Aura discernment. Other individuals or Vampire kindred clan factions may prefer other forms. Skulls are one particular choice. That is a silver skull holding a fragment of a human soul, demon, charm, or curse. And often the silver skull takes on a physical attribute of it's victim or resident.

Where to begin? For those that are my newer followers I will first display my favorites and those that have been with me from the beginning perhaps something new. My top three Character pieces.

3D poured silver art inspired in Celebrating the Mexican Holiday: “Dia de los Muertos." Some day I will travel down to Mexico to experience this delightful traditional celebration, but I must learn to understand Spanish. Being a Mod on #ladiesofhive is just what the Travel agent ordered.

There is no other substance in the universe that has such a contradictory duality than silver! While silver may have a multitude of useful physical and chemical properties, also having the ability to be imbued with either a curse or a blessing. It is God's money, and at the same time The Devil's metal. ~ Brother Philip of the Celestial Monastery 1688 AD

Hidden in among the silver goodies in a package from Nyssacat373 last fall was this crazy spooky skull with the glow-in-the-dark eyes. It’s just a perfect addition to the Character skull collection. The evil grin reminds me of a rival Assemite Vampire (possible Spoiler) Captain Nicolas Mayer the 3rd, of the Phantom Regiment in the Sky Pirates arc.

“Chi, or in the modern vernacular, aura is a glow or energy emitted by the object that has distinct character traits perceived by a gifted observer that can identify the Chi as human or demonic, Charm or Curse. Human souls and demonic spirits could exist for an eternity trapped in a piece of silver, I pity those who are imprisoned as such manner, should they be lost in the deep sea, leased be lost forever.” ~ Brother Xing Xing Wu, CEO of Celestial Monastics LLC 1993

Does it glow? Sure, it does.

Beyridge Designs 1 Troy Oz Matte Skull

Front, Skull with darkened features

Length 30mm, Width 19mm, Thickness 9.7mm

0.999 Fine Silver, 31.63g

Beyridge Designs on Etsy aka., Skully’s Corner on YouTube. He is no longer on YouTube nor I am able to find him on Etsy either but this handsome Skull is memorable as a prize gift by David Argento in an auction fundraiser for the family of the late Big Lorry. I have documented this at the 5 minute point of this Big Lorry Tribute video.

This skull also has an uncanny semblance to fellow #sgs member, @underground?!

See what I mean, uncanny. Seriously, I hope you are faring well and your hedge bets are in place in this everything-sucking-market Undy. 💋

The Mystery Skull(s)

A mystery piece from a Pouring artist on Instagram as Nyssacat373 included this unusual silver item among the goodies he sent. No trademarks or hallmarks. Can this be identified?

0.999 Fine Silver, Weight 7.07g

I’ve already spent a disproportionate amount of time trying to dig up any information and yielding none. At 7 grams, it may be meant as fractional silver yet not divisible to 9 separate little skulls without a set of pirate side cutters. This sure makes a nice little bookmark for enchanted books? I could use some help here.
If you have an idea to the function or utility of this Strip-o-Skulls please put it in the comments below.

Always adding Silver and Crypto in my Stack for that big Stormy day!
