Sue I agree  - and my first thought was the engraving on the top was a coffin hence my in memorium suggestion (runs and hides), sorry Bat.

Michael's Mum and Dad had this portrait in their sitting room, they had a candle-like bulb flickering under it day and night. I think it's safe indoors.

It was the scared bit that tickled me Sue - and presumably Bat as well

first of all I wondered about it being fruit of some kind..........  but now leaning more toward laying flowers perhaps - so could be some 'in memoriam' thing with a grave or mausoleum suggestion.     Don't the Catholics have something called All Souls Day  -  so perhaps you'd drink a toast on that day.
It's those bits coming out of the top of what appear to be apples that are confusing.

thought we had to avoid politics and religion Sue

Sausage-fingers strike again. 
I hadn't noticed my typo, I thought is was just the image that was creepy. It certainly creeps me out.

Not discussing religion per se, Paul,    just imagery.
