And it's really grotesque.
Like a lot of this stuff, really dark.

Lord Byron did this once, you know.
He had this massive estate and his gardener was digging up in the grounds and just came across loads of skulls from monks who had lived there a century earlier.
Would you like to guess what Byron did with them?

Byron's got quite a reputation.
Did he do something decorative with them?
He made them into drinking goblets.
He had them polished and mounted on a silver stand.
His estate was purchased by a big game hunter and his wife.
And the wife was a devout Christian and thought it was absolutely disgusting.
