Mementor Mori "Dead Head" Longhunter Embroidered Morale Patch
Patches are velcro/hook & loop backed
Patches come with a loop backer
Patches are roughly 4" Tall, 3” Wide
I’ve been studying early American artwork for several years now. The artwork created by the colonists is as fascinating to me as any fantasy world. Their world was uncomfortable and often brutal. Their possessions were needed to survive, but they were made as artfully as any contemporary artist would.
“Memento Mori” was a common notion on the frontier, illness, predators and seemingly endless war was always around the corner.
Based on the representation of “Memento MorI” on folk art of the time, this patch combines the lowly colonist with his flintlock rifle with modern notions of the “headless horseman”, or our modern representation of death with his cloak and scythe.
