The skull sits inside a glass dome, precious.
As described in the companion painting piece "Til Death Do Us Part" the Margay skull represents the fragility of life on this planet and humanity's destruction of nature due the the near extinction of this beautiful creature. Since the Margay wildcat is on the extinction list, this is a replica skull and not a real one. I placed the Swarovski crystals on the skull to give the surface a protective armor continuing with the gold leaf and dust to create a object of substance, value and significance.
