Dance of Death - "As I am today, so you will be tomorrow."
Uploader's Comments
The Markham Chantry Chapel - 1505. Two of the bays are occupied by early sixteenth century painted stone panels depicting the “Dance of Deathâ€. They show on the left a dancing skeleton flourishing a carnation (a symbol of mortality) and pointing to the grave, and on the right a well-dressed young man with his hand on his purse.
