The Horned Relic — Demon Skull Wall Mount, Gothic Memento Mori Decor
The Horned Relic — Demon Skull Wall Mount, Gothic Memento Mori Decor
The Horned Relic — Someone got at this skull with a chisel and a great deal of patience.
A horned demon skull that mounts flush to the wall, and the largest of our wall skulls at 18 cm across. Horns sweep back and out from the temples, and the bone itself is carved over almost every surface — filigree scrollwork across the brow and down the cheekbones, ribbed detail worked into the horns, and a pointed spur below the jaw.
It sits somewhere between memento mori and reliquary: recognisably a skull, but decorated to the point where the carving is the subject and the bone is only the canvas.
3D printed in PLA in our Dublin workshop, the matte surface throws the carved filigree into relief against the smooth bone between, and keeps the eye sockets and the gaps between the teeth reading as real depth. Fine layer lines may remain visible as part of the 3D-printing process.
Designed for feature walls, ritual corners and collections where a plain skull would be the least interesting thing on show.

Finish options
Matte Black — our standard finish. Deep matte-black PLA that holds shadow and shows every sculpted edge, raised detail and recess.
Antique Silver — hand-painted over a matte-black base and carefully drybrushed so the raised detail lifts into silver while the recesses stay dark. Each one is finished individually, so no two are ever quite the same.
Antique Bronze — the same hand-painted treatment in a warmer metal, for rooms where black reads too cold. Finished individually, so small variations are part of its character.
Other (message me) — the same hand-painted finish in colours of your choosing, for the same price. Send us a message before you order and tell us what you have in mind, and we will say honestly whether we can do it justice.
What’s included
1 × The Horned Relic skull in your chosen finish
Wall fixings are not included
Decorative items shown in the photographs are not included
Made and posted in Ireland
Printed, finished and packed by the two of us in Dublin, and posted from Ireland — so EU orders arrive without customs charges or import delays.
Pieces in matte black normally go out within 1–3 working days. Hand-painted finishes take 3–5 working days, because the paint needs time to dry properly between coats.
Product safety
Decorative item for indoor use only.
Mount securely using fixings appropriate for your wall type.
Wall fixings are not supplied.
Handle the horn tips, the teeth and the jaw spur with care — they are the thinnest sections and the ones that project furthest.
Not a toy. Keep away from young children.
Keep away from excessive heat, open flames and prolonged direct sunlight — PLA can soften at high temperatures.
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and solvents, especially on a hand-painted finish.
Materials: PLA. Hand-painted finishes also use acrylic paint and matt varnish.
Minor layer lines and small variations in the printed or hand-painted finish are normal and form part of the piece’s character.
If anything isn’t right
Every piece gets checked before it is packed. If something turns up damaged, or simply is not what you were hoping for, please send us a message — we are a two-person workshop and would far rather hear from you and put it right.
