Name: John Burr
Location: Hingham, MA
Date: 1716
Early example of the winged skull, which was quite common before the 1740s.
Puritanism being doubtful of the concept of "resurrection", the winged skull was apparently
supposed to symbolize "death, with the possibility of resurrection". Hence the wings.
