Skull Carved Leather Bifold Wallet — Red Stingray & Scrollwork
SKU: 2146
The skull on this wallet isn't just carved into the leather — it's carved through it. Sections of the cowhide are cut away around the eyes, nose, and jaw, revealing a layer of scaled leather underneath in a bronze-copper tone. A patch of red stingray sits near the top as a contrast accent. The rest of the front is dense Sheridan-style scrollwork surrounding the skull, and the entire back panel is covered in the same elaborate scroll carving. This skull carved leather bifold pairs Western tooling tradition with biker skull art on the same piece.
Built For
If you appreciate Western leatherwork with an edge — The scrollwork on this wallet rivals dedicated Western leather goods — tight spirals, consistent depth, full back-panel coverage. But the skull on the front pushes it out of cowboy territory and into biker/rocker styling. It's both traditions in one piece.
If you want sterling silver hardware, not plated — Both the round concho and the chain grommet are .925 sterling silver. Not silver-plated, not nickel alloy. They'll develop a natural patina over time rather than flaking or peeling like plated metals do.
If you carry a heavy daily load — Three bill compartments give you one extra section over most wallets in this collection. Separate denominations, tuck receipts in the third, and still have 10 card slots and a zippered pocket for coins. The 4" × 8" closed size is standard long wallet — fits a back pocket or inside a jacket.
The Honest Take
The cut-away technique on the skull gives the front real visual depth. Where the cowhide is removed, the scaled under-layer sits slightly recessed — it creates a layered, almost 3D effect that flat carving can't replicate. The red stingray accent is small but bright enough to draw the eye up toward the concho.
Flip it over and the back is all scrollwork — no skull, no cut-outs (except a few small diamond-shaped windows revealing the scaled leather). The scroll pattern covers every inch. It's the kind of detailed tooling that takes hours per piece and shows a different character than the front.
Heads up: The Sheridan scrollwork on the back panel is so densely carved that finger oils and handling marks settle into the grooves more visibly than on simpler tooled leather. Under direct light you'll notice it. A quick wipe with a dry cloth cleans it up, but it's something to expect with this level of carving detail.
White braided stitching runs around the entire edge — it's a decorative lace pattern, not flat saddle stitching. It adds a finished Western border to the whole piece.
Under the Hood
Before You Buy
Q: How does the cut-away skull technique work?
The artisan carves and then removes sections of the top cowhide layer — through the skull's eyes, nose, and jaw — so the scaled leather underneath shows through. It's not just surface carving. The cowhide is physically cut away, creating a layered effect with real depth.
Q: Are the concho and grommet both real sterling silver?
Yes — both are .925 sterling silver. The concho serves as the closure button on the front strap, and the grommet is built into the wallet's edge for chain attachment. Sterling develops a natural darkening (patina) over time, which you can polish off or leave for an aged look.
Q: What's the carving on the back — skull or something else?
The back is entirely Sheridan-style floral scrollwork — no skull. It has a few small diamond-shaped cut-outs where the scaled leather peeks through, but otherwise it's all flowing scrolls covering every inch. Very different visual from the front.
Q: Where exactly is the red stingray on this wallet?
It's a small accent piece near the closure strap area on the front panel — not a full panel. The red provides a color pop against the all-black exterior. The rest of the visible exotic leather is the bronze-toned scaled material showing through the skull cut-outs.
