Pirates are known to be sly, especially when it comes to treasure. Who would think to carve a map leading the way to buried treasures? A pirate, of course! Sure to keep you on course on your next treasure seeking adventure, this skull bears a secret map and shows where treasure might be hidden, though it may already have been raided.

A Treasure Map is a map that marks the location of buried treasure, a lost mine, a valuable secret or a hidden locale. More common in fiction than in reality, “pirate treasure maps” are often depicted in works of fiction as hand drawn and containing arcane clues for the characters to follow. Regardless of the term’s literary use, anything that meets the broad definition of a “map” that describes the location of a “treasure” could appropriately be called a “treasure map“. Over the years many people have claimed to have discovered maps and other clues that led to pirate treasure, or claim that historical maps are actually treasure maps.

Bird Mouth Skull Statue, Animals, Birds & Skulls Statues, Amethyst Crystal Bird Mouth Skull Statue

Amethyst Crystal Bird Mouth Skull Statue

This Bird Mouth Skull Statue is hand-carved from natural stone with fine polishing, well-crafted. Every crystal bird bead statue specimen is unique. Amethyst represents spirituality, spirit, and high-level love, and can be used as a kind of affection and token of admirers. As a traditional amulet, amethyst can drive away evil luck and improve intuition. The Birds’ Skull consists of 5 major bones: the frontal (top of head), parietal (back of head), premaxillary and nasal (top beak), and the mandible (bottom beak). The skull of a normal bird usually weighs about 1% of the bird’s total body weight. The eye occupies a considerable amount of the skull and is surrounded by a sclerotic eye-ring, a ring of tiny bones. This characteristic is also seen in their reptile cousins. Broadly speaking, avian skulls consist of many small, non-overlapping bones. Pedomorphosis, maintenance of the ancestral state in adults, is thought to have facilitated the evolution of the avian skull. In essence, adult bird skulls will resemble the juvenile form of their theropod dinosaur ancestors. As the avian lineage has progressed and has pedomorphosis has occurred, they have lost the postorbital bone behind the eye, the ectopterygoid at the back of the palate, and teeth. The palate structures have also become greatly altered with changes, mostly reductions, seen in the pterygoid, palatine, and jugal bones.

A reduction in the adductor chambers has also occurred. These are all conditions seen in the juvenile form of their ancestors. The premaxillary bone has also hypertrophied to form the beak while the maxilla has become diminished, as suggested by both developmental and paleontological studies. This expansion into the beak has occurred in tandem with the loss of a functional hand and the developmental of a point at the front of the beak that resembles a “finger“. The premaxilla is also known to play a large role in feeding behaviours in fish. The structure of the avian skull has important implications for their feeding behaviours. Birds show independent movement of the skull bones known as cranial kinesis. Cranial kinesis in birds occurs in several forms, but all of the different varieties are all made possible by the anatomy of the skull. Animals with large, overlapping bones (including the ancestors of modern birds) have akinetic (non-kinetic) skulls. For this reason it has been argued that the pedomorphic bird beak can be seen as an evolutionary innovation. Birds have a diapsid skull, as in reptiles, with a pre-lachrymal fossa (present in some reptiles). The skull has a single occipital condyle. Amethyst Crystal Bird Mouth Skull Statue measures: 3.15 inches / 8 cm x 2.7 inches / 7 cm x 1.35 inches / 3.5 cm.

Realistic Ghost Dragon Statue

This Ghost Dragon Statue is incredibly realistic, each black and blue-tinged scale of the ghost dragon is a tactile experience. The Ghost Dragon is hand painted with exceptional detail and has been professionally sculpted. The feared Ghost Dragon is said to appear only when a new moon occurs on all Hallows’ Eve. The terrifying creatures seek ancient treasures and old foes on this night. Known for stealth, the Ghost Dragon blends in with the dark surroundings of the moonless nights it loves best. The detailed skull head, sharp claws, and ghostly wings complete a sinister appearance. A muted palate of black, grey, and dark blue stand in contrast to the white skull and green horns of this statue. “Although all dragons live incredibly long lives, Ghost Dragons never die. Long ago, a dragon stumbled upon a magical elixir, and drinking it eventually turned this dragon into a wraith, somewhere between the living and the dead, doomed forever to walk the earth on moonless nights. One of this Ghost Dragons could pass within a few feet without being detected”. A Ghost Dragon was a powerful type of ghost created when a dragon was slain and its hoard looted. Ghost dragons haunted their former lairs, unable to rest until their hoards were restored. A ghost dragon resembled the dragon as it was in life, except far more terrifying. His form is translucent and composed of swirling, sinister shadows. Only the mosts powerful of dragons had the strength of will to persist as ghost, and as such many dragon ghosts were already of ancient age and size by the time of their deaths.

Normally, they dwelt within the Ethereal Plane entirely, being both invisible and incorporeal, but they could manifest themselves at will to become visible on the Material Plane, but remained incorporeal. They communicated entirely in whispers. Although Ghost Dragons retained many of the traits that identified the breed of dragon that they were before their deaths, they did not retain their breath weapons. Instead, they breathed a cone of gray mist, which sometimes took the form of a ghostly parody of the breath weapon in life, such as flames, lightning, or acid, which sapped vitality from any creature in its path. This mist was paralyzingly cold and could induce nightmarish hallucinations and physical weakness, but the real danger was that anyone caught in the breath weapon would begin aging rapidly. This aging was proportional to their race’s longevity, so humans might find themselves as much as a century older while elves could find themselves older by a millennium. Ghost Dragons were so thoroughly steeped in this kind of magic that even just being near one of them could cause a creature to age by as many as 3 decades instantly. A ghost dragon could not be truly destroyed, only released from its undeath by providing it with the treasure it desired. If defeated and dispersed in combat, a ghost dragon would reform within 2 to 8 days. Realistic Ghost Dragon Statue measures: 5.7 inches / 14.5 cm x 4.7 inches / 12 cm x 4.7 inches / 12 cm.

Tyrannosaurus Rex Skull Statue, Dinosaurs, Skulls & Fossils Statues, Tyrannosaurus Rex’s Smithsonian Fossil Skull Replica Statue

Tyrannosaurus Rex’s Smithsonian Fossil Skull Replica Statue

The legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex is one of the most popular dinosaurs in the world. With terrifying jaws and an immense size, this large carnivore has a collectible appeal to any dinosaur enthusiast. Housed inside of the Smithsonian resides the specimen USNM 555000 T-Rex Skull. This fossil is known as the Nation’s T-Rex as it is the largest and most complete T-Rex skeleton specimens ever discovered. Now you can take home a piece of this prehistoric treasure. Durably constructed with a heavyweight polystone resin, it is designed to last a lifetime and features hand-painted detailing. A 1:10 replica, this impressive skull replica leaves a big impact in a small desk-sized space. Secured to a base and plaque, it displaying information about the skull, fastened on a display plaque featuring information about the actual specimen. Full authorized and licensed by the Smithsonian Museum, this T-Rex replica skull is ideal for anyone fascinated by the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Tyrannosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus Rex (rex meaning “king” in Latin), often called T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the best represented of these large theropods. Tyrannosaurus lived throughout what is now western North America, on what was then an island continent known as Laramidia. Tyrannosaurus had a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age of the Upper Cretaceous period, 68 to 66 million years ago. It was the last known member of the tyrannosaurids and among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist before the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. Like other tyrannosaurids, Tyrannosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. Relative to its large and powerful hind limbs, the forelimbs of Tyrannosaurus were short but unusually powerful for their size, and they had 2 clawed digits.

The most complete specimen measures up to 12.3 meters (40 feet) in length, though T-rex could grow to lengths of over 12.3 m (40 ft), up to 3.96 m (13 ft) tall at the hips, and according to most modern estimates 6 tons to 8 tons in weight. Although other theropods rivaled or exceeded Tyrannosaurus Rex in size, it is still among the largest known land predators and is estimated to have exerted the strongest bite force among all terrestrial animals. By far the largest carnivore in its environment, Tyrannosaurus rex was most likely an apex predator, preying upon hadrosaurs, juvenile armored herbivores like ceratopsians and ankylosaurs, and possibly sauropods. Some experts have suggested the dinosaur was primarily a scavenger. The question of whether Tyrannosaurus was an apex predator or a pure scavenger was among the longest debates in paleontology.

Most paleontologists today accept that Tyrannosaurus was both an active predator and a scavenger. Specimens of Tyrannosaurus Rex include some that are nearly complete skeletons. Soft tissue and proteins have been reported in at least one of these specimens. The abundance of fossil material has allowed significant research into many aspects of its biology, including its life history and biomechanics. The feeding habits, physiology, and potential speed of Tyrannosaurus rex are a few subjects of debate. Its taxonomy is also controversial, as some scientists consider Tarbosaurus Bataar from Asia to be a second Tyrannosaurus species, while others maintain Tarbosaurus is a separate genus. Several other genera of North American tyrannosaurids have also been synonymized with Tyrannosaurus. As the archetypal theropod, Tyrannosaurus has been one of the best-known dinosaurs since the early 20th century and has been featured in film, advertising, postal stamps, and many other media.

T-rex was one of the largest land carnivores of all time. One of the largest and the most complete specimens, nicknamed Sue (FMNH PR2081), is located at the Field Museum of Natural History. Sue measured 12.3-12.8 meters (40-42 ft) long, was 3.66 meters (12 ft) tall at the hips, and according to the most recent studies, using a variety of techniques, estimated to have weighed between 6 tons to 8 tons. A specimen nicknamed Scotty (RSM P2523.8), located at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, is reported to measure 13 m (43 ft) in length. Using a mass estimation technique that extrapolates from the circumference of the femur, Scotty was estimated as the largest known specimen at 9 tons in weight. Not every adult Tyrannosaurus specimen recovered is as big. Historically average adult mass estimates have varied widely over the years, from as low as 4.5 tons, to more than 7.2 tons, with most modern estimates ranging between 5.4 tons and 8.0 tons.

The largest known Tyrannosaurus Rex skull is 1.52 meters (5 ft) in length. Large fenestrae (openings) in the skull reduced weight, as in all carnivorous theropods. In other respects Tyrannosaurus’s skull was significantly different from those of large non-tyrannosaurid theropods. It was extremely wide at the rear but had a narrow snout, allowing unusually good binocular vision. The skull bones were massive and the nasals and some other bones were fused, preventing movement between them, but many were pneumatized (contained a “honeycomb” of tiny air spaces) and thus lighter. These and other skull-strengthening features are part of the tyrannosaurid trend towards an increasingly powerful bite, which easily surpassed that of all non-tyrannosaurids. The tip of the upper jaw was U-shaped (most non-tyrannosauroid carnivores had V-shaped upper jaws), which increased the amount of tissue and bone a tyrannosaur could rip out with one bite, although it also increased the stresses on the front teeth. Tyrannosaurus Rex’s Smithsonian Fossil Skull Replica Statue sizes: 8.1 inches / 20.5 cm x 8.1 inches / 20.5 cm x 8.1 inches / 20.5 cm.

Native American Head Skull Statue, Skulls & Native Americans Statues, Crystal Native American Head Skull with War Bonnet Statue

Crystal Native American Head Skull with War Bonnet Statue

This extraordinary Native American Head Skull Statue is one of worthwhile collectable statue exclusives, is unique and hand carved. War Bonnets (also called Warbonnets or Headdresses) are feathered headgear traditionally worn by male leaders of the American Plains Indians Nations who have earned a place of great respect in their tribe. Originally they were sometimes worn into battle, but they are now primarily used for ceremonial occasions. In the Native American and First Nations communities that traditionally have these items of regalia, they are seen as items of great spiritual and political importance, only to be worn by those who have earned the right and honour through formal recognition by their people. Many Native American tribes consider the presentation of an eagle feather to be one of the highest marks of respect. An honored person must have earned their feather through selfless acts of courage and honour, or been gifted them in gratitude for their work or service to their community or Nation.

Traditional deeds that bring honour can include acts of valor in battle (including contemporary military service), but also political and diplomatic gains, or acts that helped their community survive and prosper. The esteem attached to eagle feathers is traditionally so high that in many cases, such as a warrior (e.g. Dog Soldiers of the Cheyenne), only 2 or 3 honour feathers might be awarded in a person’s whole lifetime. Historically, the warrior who was the first to touch an enemy in battle and escape unscathed received an eagle feather. When enough feathers were collected, they might be incorporated into a Headdress or some other form of worn regalia. Historically, headdresses were usually reserved exclusively for the tribe’s chosen political and spiritual leaders. Roman Nose, who was one of the most influential Cheyenne warriors of the Plains Indian Wars of the 1860s, was known for his illustrious War Bonnet that was said to protect him during battle.

Several instances record how while wearing his War Bonnet, he rode back and forth before soldiers of the United States Army and, despite being fired upon, was left unscathed. While women have traditional regalia that can include other types of Headdresses, historically women did not wear the most common style of Plains Warbonnet. However, in recent years a few First Nations Women who have attained a very high level of respect in their communities have been ceremonially gifted with headdresses of the type that were formerly only worn by men. Due to their historical importance and status, traditional Native Americans now consider the wearing of headdresses without the express permission of tribal leaders to be an affront to their culture and traditions. Consequently, in cases where non-Native political leaders have been symbolically allowed to wear the headdress, this has caused controversy. Crystal Native American Head Skull with War Bonnet Statue measures: 2.3 inches / 6 cm x 2.5 inches / 6.5 cm x 4 inches / 10 cm.

Singled out worldwide by Skullis, they are usually the finest precious and semi-precious gemstones, sparkling rock crystals. Speaking of Aura instead, and according to spiritual beliefs, an Aura or Human Energy Field is a colored emanation said to enclose a human body or any animal or object. In some esoteric positions, the aura is described as a subtle body. Psychics and Holistic Medicine practitioners often claim to have the ability to see the size, color and type of vibration of an aura. In spiritual alternative medicine, the human being aura is seen as part of a hidden anatomy that reflects the state of being and health of a client, often understood to even comprise centers of vital force called Chakras.

Such claims are not supported by scientific evidence and are thus Pseudoscience. When tested under scientific controlled experiments, the ability to see auras has not been proven to exist. In Latin and Ancient Greek, Aura means wind, breeze or breath. It was used in Middle English to mean “gentle breeze“. By the end of the 19th century, the word was used in some spiritualist circles to describe a speculated subtle emanation around the body. Auras come in all sorts of colors, shades, and combinations, and you can find out what yours is looking like by having your aura photographed or taking a quick aura color quiz. Auras are constantly changing, but they are usually dominant in 1 or 2 colors. If yours features any more, it might just qualify as a Rainbow Aura.

Orange Floral Skull Statue, Nature, Flowers, Skulls & Symbolic Statues, Life Size Orange Floral Human Skull Head Statue

Life Size Orange Floral Human Skull Head Statue

This Colorful Orange Floral Skull Statue in floral tattoo design is made of designer composite resin, hand painted and polished individually. It is a larger sized skull in cream/bone color base, decorated in filigree style with colorful floral design texture. It is a wonderful skull for the Day Of The Dead! This skull is a multi-talented ghostly creation that is sure to be the star of the show. Skull Symbolism is the attachment of symbolic meaning to the human skull. The most common symbolic use of the skull is as a representation of death, mortality and the unachievable nature of immortality. Humans can often recognize the buried fragments of an only partially revealed cranium even when other bones may look like shards of stone. The human brain has a specific region for recognizing faces, and is so attuned to finding them that it can see faces in a few dots and lines or punctuation marks. The human brain cannot separate the image of the human skull from the familiar human face.

Because of this, both the death and the now-past life of the Skull are symbolized. Hindu temples and depiction of some Hindu deities have displayed association with skulls. Moreover, a human skull with its large eye sockets displays a degree of neoteny, which humans often find visually appealing, yet a skull is also obviously dead, and to some can even seem to look sad due to the downward facing slope on the ends of the eye sockets. A skull with the lower jaw intact may also appear to be grinning or laughing due to the exposed teeth. As such, Human Skulls often have a greater visual appeal than the other bones of the human skeleton, and can fascinate even as they repel. Our present society predominantly associates skulls with death and evil. The Skull Art instead is found in various cultures of the world. Indigenous Mexican art celebrates the skeleton and uses it as a regular motif.

The use of skulls and skeletons in art originated before the Conquest, The Aztecs excelled in stone sculptures and created striking carvings of their Gods. Coatlicue, the Goddess of earth and death, was portrayed with a necklace of human hearts, hands and a skull pendant. She was imbued with the drama and grandeur necessary to dazzle the subject people and to convey the image of an implacable state. The worship of death involved worship of life, while the skull, symbol of death, was a promise to resurrection. The Aztecs carved Skulls in monoliths of lava, and made masks of obsidian and jade. Furthermore, the skull motif was used in decoration. They were molded on pots, traced on scrolls, woven into garments, and formalized into hieroglyphs.

Gothic Evil Grim Reaper Statue, Gothic, Skulls, Medieval & Mythological Statues, Evil Grim Reaper on Bone Throne with Scythe and Skulls Statue

Gothic Evil Grim Reaper on Bone Throne with Scythe and Skulls Statue

Add a dash of fright in your house with this Gothic Evil Grim Reaper Statue. This finely detailed and hand painted work of art is certain to put a scare into your guests and is definitely not for the faint of heart. This spooky sculpture will be the crowning centerpiece of your mantel, shelf or tabletop when included in your collection of Gothic decor. Truly a work of art that would make a great fantasy gift idea also for a cave man. The Grim Reaper is a spectral entity that is said to be the sentient manifestation of Death itself. Since the 14th century, Death has commonly been perceived to be an animated human skeleton, draped in pitch black robes and carrying a scythe. With this scythe, the Reaper severs the soul’s last ties to life and grants the soul safe passage to the afterlife. The Grim Reaper has often, falsely, been depicted as an evil spirit that preys on mortals. In truth, however, she is neither evil nor good, merely a force of nature and order. Death is a fundamental part of life and it is the Grim Reaper’s duty to claim the souls of the deceased so as to maintain the balance of nature.

The Reaper does not “kill” mortals, but merely guides their spirits to the next realm and it is not her place to judge souls or determine what will become of them. The oldest Death figure who resembles the Grim Reaper myth is Thanatos, the Primordial embodiment of demise from Greco-Roman myth. Thanatos was one of two twin sons born to Nyx, the primordial goddess of Night with Thanatos’s twin having been the sleep god Hypnos. In Thanatos’s most famous myth, he was captured and imprisoned by the Sysyphus, the mad king of Corinth. Thanatos was chained and bound in the castle of Sysyphus resulting in no living being on Earth being able to die which lead to an uproar from the God of War, Ares. Ares freed Thanatos and Sisyphus was sent to Tartarus, the Greek Hell. The origin of the Grim Reaper figure comes from the Medieval Europe during the 14th century when more and more Europeans found themselves dying of the mysterious new plague known as “Black Death” (now known as Bubonic Plague).

The Grim Reaper embodied the concept of the living being like wheat which the Reaper harvests when they grow too old, hence the reaper’s scythe. Although the figure is generally devoid of religious ties the Reaper is often affiliated with the Horseman of Death from the Abrahamic faith, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Due to this the Grim Reaper is often portrayed as having a Pale Horse. The Grim Reaper is a near universal representation of demise and is found in a wide variety of different cultures with many different names. British influenced cultures tend to portray the Reaper as being male or devoid of gender or sex but in languages with grammatical gender the concept of Death is expressly female. Due to this several culture’s variants of the Grim Reaper are expressly female or at the least feminine leaning. Evil Grim Reaper on Bone Throne with Scythe and Skulls Statue measures: 9.25 inches / 23.5 cm x 7.75 inches / 19.5 cm x 10.5 inches / 26.5 cm.
