The Skull Clutch

This is one of  the skull clutches by Alexander McQueen, the Brit designer who is no more with us.  These skull clutches are quite a rage the world over and carried by celebs almost everywhere.  I love everything about it save the "skull".  Dunno why... 
I mean I would not want to walk about with a lil skull even if it is golden and designed by the man himself!!  How do you feel about this design element ?
