This skull is carved from a block of wood and then connected to a cord so that it might be hung up almost anywhere. It's crafted in Japan, and The Living there often use them as keychains or to dress up cell phones, knapsacks, and purses.
I, personally, like to hang them all around my abode. They add such a festive whimsy any time of year, and guests are always pleasantly surprised to discover one peeking out at them from the most unexpected places.
If you'd like one or two of your own, you can find them at J-Box. Their ad banner can be found right on this page, and once there, you'll be looking for the Box Tree Skull Netsuke item SZ134.
