Swarm of Shadows 19cm

Swarm of Shadows Bat Skull Ornament

Black bats gather over a pale skull in Swarm of Shadows, their open wings creating a dark crown above the forehead. Smaller bat shapes fill the eye sockets and nose, while web-like patterns trail across the bone-effect surface.

The approximately 19 cm ornament is cast in hand-painted polyresin. The contrast between the dark creatures and pale cranium keeps the whole scene clear, with raised wing shapes adding depth around the top. It is a striking combination of two familiar gothic subjects.

Bats Gather Above the Hollow Eyes

The bats do more than sit on top: they become part of the skull’s face, changing the expression around the sockets. Their layered wings give the crown a lively outline, while the darker web details link them to the paler surface below. It is an appealing centre for a bat-led gothic collection.

The winged crown brings Skull Ornaments together with Bat Ornaments. Other dark creature sculptures in Gargoyles, Grotesques and Horror can surround the scene without losing its gothic mood.
