Description Fitting adornment for any pirate, as they include things one would have: little skulls carved from the bones of an enemy, corks of bottles finished, feathers of the deceased parrot, and lucky coins to attract more coins If I were a pirate - or just a little more of a showoff - I'd totally wear them! But I know I'd just chicken out if it came to wearing these
So I hope they'll find themselves a good owner with a soul of a pirate or someone equally gutsy to show them to the world

They are approximately 16 cm (6.3 inch) long - aye, aye, they are huge! The mug I hung them on is a 1 liter one from a Munich Oktoberfest

The skulls are hand sculpted out of polymer clay, finished with crayons. (Yea they are not actually bones... But learning bone carving is on my bucket list...) They are not identical, they can't be by the nature of the work... Or I wonder... maybe if I get more skilled in the future, but these were my firsts, please be lenient!
Of course I didn't kill or torture a parrot for the feathers either
Corks from bottles of delicious Hungarian wine
The "lucky coins on the two are not identical either, not that I didn't have two, I just like adding a tiny twist like this, a hint of difference in basically symmetrical items...
