Carla Valentine Instagram – ❤️ Continuing my ‘Valentine’ theme are these beautiful painted skulls at Hallstatt ossuary (or bone house/”beinhaus”) in Austria. The unadorned skulls are removed from the grave after 15 years, with the owners’ consent, and bleached on a shelf by the sun and the moon, over the course of a few days, in the nearby gravedigger’s cottage. Then they’re beautifully decorated: the choice of decoration is usually an option out of four – Ivy for faithfulness, Laurel for victory, Oak for glory and Rose for LOVE 🌹
