Catherine Michiels - Little Bob Charm

Every Catherine Michiels's creation has a history and is a bearer of a message, in connection with the spiritual world.

Bob’s mantra is "Memento Mori": remember that you will die.

The pirates displayed on their famous flag a skull and crossed shinsthat meant : "drink, eat, have fun, enjoy life... before it is too late".

"Memento mori" comes to us from Roman antiquity: when a victorious Roman general was carried in triumph through the city, a slave stationed behind him was instructed to repeat this sentence, so that the triumph does not go to his head... In art, the Memento mori becomes vanity, with the representation of death that takes the rich and the poor alike.

This amulet measures 17 mm, Bob’s eyes are made of blue or pink sapphire.

A special edition "David Bowie" has a blue eye and a green eye...

All are available in bronze, sterling silver or in Yellow Gold, White Gold or Rose Gold.

Price of gold is upon request: please call Frederic (+33 6 87 32 58 68) or email requests to lamaisonsurlasorgue@wanadoo.fr with the item name, material, stones (if any) and quantity desired.

Your charm will be shipped on a silk tie in one of the colors from the current season's palette. If you have a specific color preference, please write us a note.
