From the collection

SKULL en PRULL is a small independent curiosities and oddities studio from Belgium, created by Elly & Flipke.

We have always been drawn to the unusual, the forgotten and the beautifully macabre. From bones, skulls and taxidermy to wet specimens, antique medical curiosities and strange treasures from another time. This is our world.

Many of our pieces are handcrafted or transformed by Flipke, giving forgotten objects and natural remains a new story and a second life.

We don’t believe death has to be hidden away. There is beauty in what remains, fascination in anatomy and history in objects that have survived their time.

Memento Mori. Remember that you must die, and surround yourself with things that make you feel alive.

Welcome to SKULL en PRULL.

The Makers

Elly& Flipke


Skull en Prull is the two of us, Elly and Flipke, a couple from Belgium who never lost the pull toward the unusual.

Much of what you see is shaped or transformed by Flipke’s hands.
