VTG Celtic Skull Lidded Ashtray Catchall Box – Etched Viking Knotwork & Triskele

Vintage 3.5-inch Celtic Skull Lidded Ashtray Catchall Box – Etched Viking Knotwork & Triskele

(Matching Lid Included) 

​Unleash a touch of dark mythology and ancient symbolism with this striking Celtic Skull Lidded Ashtray and Trinket Box. Crafted with an incredible level of detail, this piece features a heavy, cast-stone weight (11.8 oz.) and a weathered, antiqued bone-style finish.

​Every angle of this cranium is covered in deeply etched, low-relief imagery blending ancient Celtic and Viking traditions:

• ​Eye Sockets: Inset with prominent Triskeles (triple spirals), representing power, rebirth, and movement.

• ​Bridge & Brow: Accentuated with Triquetra knotwork for a distinct, sacred aesthetic.

• ​Temporal & Back: Wrapped in fluid Nordic zoomorphic interlace and geometric petroglyph patterns.

​Functional & Versatile Design

​The top of the skull features built-in cigarette rests, allowing it to function seamlessly as an ashtray. Placing the detachable skull cap back on,  hides ash and controls odors, keeping your space clean and discreet. Not a smoker? It makes an incredible gothic catchall box or secret stash vessel for keys, spare change, rings, or gaming dice.
