A Skull Mosaic.


Frankly, I just like this image. I'm very partial to mosaics and skulls, so this kills two birds with one stone. I prefer skulls completely naked, without any skin or hair on them. The ugliest thing in the world is, I think, a skull with hair! Yuck. I saw examples of them in churches in Rome. The Christians sure like clogging up their places of worship with dead bodies - think how many people were buried inside churches, along the walls, under the floor. Talk about stinko. The hygenic Pagans of Rome, on the other hand, kept death far from their temples - the Gods didn't like it.
