Decorative Skull "Boarding Party" 13 cm
"Prepare grappling hooks! Attack!" This dynamic skull statue captures the most thrilling moment of a pirate's life—the seconds before boarding an enemy ship. The pirate grips a dagger with a gold handle firmly between his teeth, keeping both hands free to climb the rigging. His head is adorned with a detailed red bandana featuring a fine relief pattern, with long brown hair flowing out from underneath. The rugged expression is complemented by a black leather eye patch over the left eye. This decoration is not just a static object, but a story of courage, danger, and the lust for loot. It is the ideal gift for Jack Sparrow fans, maritime history buffs, or as a stylish accessory for a man cave. Further product information ...

Decorative Skull "Boarding Party" – Pirate with Knife in Teeth, 13 cm
Detailed Craftsmanship of a Desperado
The statue is made of high-quality polyresin, which highlights the textures—from the porosity of the bone to the fabric structure of the bandana and the metallic shine of the knife blade. Hand-painting ensures that each piece is an original with a unique patina. With a depth and width of around 13–14 cm (approx. 5 inches), the statue feels solid and stable, making it a dominant feature on your shelf or desk.
Historical Insight: Knife in the Teeth
The image of a pirate with a knife between his teeth is one of the most iconic clichés, but it has a basis in reality. When boarding an enemy ship, attackers often had to shimmy across ropes or climb up the side of the hull. Since they needed both hands to move, holding a weapon in their mouth was a practical necessity to be ready for combat immediately upon landing on deck. This pirate is thus equipped exactly as the harsh practice of naval warfare dictated.

How to Care for the Pirate
To keep this sea wolf ready for action, follow these principles:
- Cleaning: Remove dust with a soft brush, especially from the folds of the bandana and around the knife. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.
- Handling: Be careful with the protruding knife blade—it is the most fragile part of the statue. It could snap off if dropped.
- Placement: The statue is intended for indoor use.
Warnings
This is a decorative item, not a toy. Although the dagger is blunt, careless handling (or shards in case of breakage) could cause injury.
A replica of a pirate cutlass or a small chest of coins would go perfectly with this skull.
