Gothic Ankh and Skull Pattern with Black Roses

Striking black and white symmetrical design featuring Egyptian ankh symbols, ornate skulls, and detailed roses in a Gothic style pattern with intricate flourishes

A dramatic monochromatic composition centered around a large, ornately decorated Egyptian ankh symbol. The design features perfect symmetry with skulls and roses arranged in a repeating pattern against a contrasting background. The overall aesthetic combines Gothic darkness with elegant decorative elements.

The central ankh is adorned with intricate Celtic-style knotwork patterns. Multiple skulls, each marked with smaller ankh symbols on their foreheads, are arranged in a circular pattern. Realistic black roses with detailed petals and thorned stems weave throughout the composition. Flowing baroque-style flourishes connect the elements, creating an organic yet structured design.

This artwork merges ancient Egyptian symbolism with Gothic aesthetics, creating a powerful fusion of spiritual and dark artistic elements. The ankh, representing eternal life, contrasts poetically with the mortality symbolized by the skulls, while the roses add a romantic yet somber touch typical of Gothic art.
