Skull belt buckle (that doesn't grin)

Skull belt buckle with movable jaw
Bit gruesome this post!

While I was updating the info on this skull belt buckle it struck me that we (nearly) see skulls every day.

A face is just thin layer of skin, muscles n stuff. And behind that is a skull. Yikes.

While we're chatting about skulls (time for a rant)...

You read in a spooky novel about grinning skulls. They don't grin. There's nothing to grin with. It's the lips and muscles that do the grinning and a skull doesn't have lips, or muscles. Maybe a zombie might (if its lips haven't fallen off), but then that's a zombie head, not a zombie skull. I know it's just poetic license. Doesn't stop it being wrong.

I feel better now.

So anyway, this skull buckle has no lips or muscles but its jaw does open and close, which is neat.
