Description "Scar" for Weekly Challenge at   
90 minutes (25 of those spent just trying to get a composition that didn't suck)

Roman-British Ciniery urn. Before burial caught on, Romans would cremate their people and store them. Those who could probably had a special spot in their home, and on special occasion would give offerings, wine, honey etc,  by pouring it inside or onto the bottle itself. Most bottles are much smaller than this, and I seriously doubt you'd get something as intact as that skull. It would also have a stopper. We won't ponder too much about the fact that that skull couldn't possibly fit through that opening. I needed a skull, I didn't want a gigantic bottle. 

I wish i had more time to work on the glass to make it more realistic, but getting a composition that didn't make me want to press delete took a long time.
