Memento Mori Bookmark Collection: The Danse Macabre (Set of 5)

The Tale

Explore the late Middle Ages with our memento mori bookmarks. Indeed, this collection draws inspiration from historic Danse Macabre woodcuts. Each piece serves as a poetic reminder of our shared mortality. Therefore, they celebrate the timeless nature of a great book.

In addition, the set includes five unique skeletal figures. Discover detailed graphics ranging from a grave-digger with a shovel to the herald of the afterlife. We render every character in the bold, stark linework of 15th-century block prints. Consequently, these markers make perfect companions for gothic novels or dark philosophy books.

The Craft

We build these wooden relics to outlast the flesh.

• The Material: We use ultra-slender 1/16" birch plywood. Moreover, these premium pieces sit perfectly flat within your book. They provide a beautiful wooden texture without stressing the binding.

• The Designs: Enjoy a curated set of five distinct skeletal motifs. Specifically, the collection features detailed skulls, crossbones, and the traditional tools of the sexton.

• Dimensions: Each marker measures 7.25" x 1.25". Thus, this elegant size ensures your marker peeks out from standard paperbacks and grand hardcovers alike.

• The Finish: Our precision laser leaves a deep, soot-black char. As a result, this dark engraving creates a stunning contrast against the bone-white birch. The final look beautifully mimics traditional ink on aged paper.

For the Dark Academic & Tabletop Adventurer

• The Bibliophile: Add a striking accent to your collection of ghost stories and literary classics.

• The Necromancer: Similarly, you can use these relics as thematic spell trackers during undead-heavy D&D campaigns.

• The Gift of History: Ultimately, these make a sophisticated gift for anyone who appreciates the shadows of art history.
