The Grim Reaper as the ferryman Charon with lantern and boat

In the light of his lantern, the Grim Reaper observes the dead rising from the Styx, who with their skeletal hands try to hold back the ferryman's boat. Apparently they were unwilling to hand over the obol for the "Final Passage". Now they must wait for all eternity in the hope of being taken across after all. Might the ferryman of the underworld perhaps still be paid retrospectively? The "Final Passage" figurine with the Grim Reaper as Charon is 22.5 cm high, 19.5 cm wide and 11 cm deep. It is crafted with remarkable detail from carefully hand-painted polyresin and, with its glowing lantern, spreads amid all its darkness a small glimmer of hope as well.

Charon and the Styx as a mythological Gothic scene

In Greek mythology, Charon is the ferryman of the underworld who carries the deceased across the river of the dead into the realm of Hades – but only in return for the obol, a coin given to the dead as the ferryman's fee. Those who could not pay had to linger on the shore. This Charon figurine captures precisely that moment at the shore and combines the ancient motif of the ferryman of the dead with the image of the hooded Grim Reaper. At 22.5 cm in height, the scene is a striking accent for a sideboard, display cabinet, desk or shelf and comes into its own as Grim Reaper decor especially at Halloween and in the dark season. A distinctive gift idea for a birthday, for Christmas, for Halloween or for Gothic lovers, mythology enthusiasts and collectors of dark figurines.
