This genuine Blesbock skull is designed around the carved red coral medallion that I purchased at a gem shop in Sedona, AZ. I was told that the symbolic meaning of the carving was "long life". I named this piece after Baki, meaning eternal.
Baki was the pen name of the Ottoman Turkish poet Mahmud Abdülbâkî. Considered one of the greatest contributors to Turkish literature, Bâkî came to be known as Sultânüş-şuarâ, or "Sultan of poets".
