Round 5: Tossup 9

One of these objects is held by a young man wearing a red feather bonnet in a portrait by Frans Hals. Two shepherds stare at one of these objects in the bottom right corner of a painting by Guercino (“gwair-CHEE-noh”). A (15[1])Caravaggio painting of a man writing a book as one of these objects sits on his desk depicts St. Jerome, who is often shown alongside one of these objects in art. These objects feature alongside candles in a prominent subgenre of (*) still life. Paul Cezanne created a “Pyramid” of four of these (10[1])objects, which are the (-5[1])primary subject of Vanitas paintings. The memento mori (10[1])genre often features, (10[1])for 10 points, what bone used to represent (10[1])death? ■END■
