Skull & Crossbones Ornament
- An Old World Christmas glass Halloween ornament
Long held as a symbol of piracy or death, the skull and crossbones shown depicted in this ornament at least should be taken as a indication of caution. When a skull has two large crossed bones behind or under it, this can mean death or danger, or a warning sign for a poisonous substance. Often you will see a small skull and crossbones on medication or a poisonous household product as a mnemonic device to keep the substance away from children and pets. Skulls have long been associated with Halloween, so this ornament would be appropriate to hang on your Halloween tree!
