Decorative Skull "Treasure Guardian" 9cm
Dead men tell no tales, so they say, but this pirate looks like he has a story or two about hidden riches. If you are looking for a decoration that brings the spirit of the Caribbean and adventure into your home, this skull is a direct hit. This is no ordinary remains—this corsair took his wealth literally to the grave. His jaw rests on a pile of gold coins and doubloons, which are spilling out of his mouth. The rugged look is complemented by a black bandana with small skull motifs, a leather eye patch over the right eye, and an ominously glowing red gem in the left eye socket. It is the perfect paperweight for your desk, an addition to your coin collection, or a gift for a fan of pirate legends. Further product information ...

Decorative Skull "Treasure Guardian" – with Bandana and Coins, 9 cm
Detailed Craftsmanship of a Pirate's Curse
The statue is made of high-quality polyresin, which allows for incredible detail. Notice the texture of the fabric on the bandana, the rough stitching on the eye patch, or the individual coins at the base of the skull. Hand-painting gives the bone an old, yellowed hue, while the coins shine like real gold. The ruby eye adds a mystical touch to the skull, as if animated by an ancient curse. With a height of 9 cm (approx. 3.5 inches), it fits on any shelf, but its charisma is enormous.
Historical Insight: Cursed Gold and Pieces of Eight
The coins upon which the skull rests resemble the famous Spanish "Pieces of Eight" (reales de a ocho). These silver and gold coins were a global currency during the Golden Age of Piracy (1650–1730) and the main target of pirate raids. Many legends state that pirate treasures are cursed, and anyone who steals even a single coin is doomed. This skull with the red eye looks like a warning to anyone who might want to touch the treasure.

How to Care for the Pirate
To keep this treasure guardian looking his best, follow these tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dust from the crevices of the coins and bandana. Do not use water or chemical cleaners, which could damage the hand-painted finish (especially the gold paint).
- Handling: Polyresin is hard but brittle. If dropped on a hard floor, the coins or the bandana knot could chip off.
- Placement: The statue is intended for indoor use.
Warnings
This statue is a decorative item, not a toy. It contains small parts (such as the artificial eye) that could be inhaled.
A replica of a historical treasure map or a compass would make a great pair with this skull.
