Menselijke schedel op een stok before 1936

"Menselijke schedel op een stok" (Human skull on a stick) is a pencil drawing by F. Ockerse, dated before 1936. The drawing depicts a human skull perched atop a stick, with a sketch of the same composition appearing on the left side. The artist included the text "Papoesche Wegwijzer" (Papuan Roadsign) with an arrow pointing to the right and the words "Rechtsomkeert!" (Right about face!), creating a humorous and symbolic statement. The work is a simple yet powerful depiction of life and death, drawing viewers into a conversation about the symbolic power of the human skull.
