Capita Mortua

Capita Mortua means “Dead Heads”, a plural of Caput Mortum, “useless remains” or the leftovers of alchemical processes. This also refers to caput mortuum, the pigment known as “mummy brown” that was processed from human mummies ground into powder. This shade of reddish-brown is found in a handful of classical paintings and is associated with mortality and memento mori.
