Hi myeye,
We must not confuse the Bohemian Tarot to the Bohemian Gothic Tarot, it's not the same.
Let me also have a look see at the card. In a lot of instances Tarotists add their own cards (myself included) to describe a certain circumstance.
If it was added in the Major Arcanum my inclination would be to concider your death and rebirth and may perhaps be equivalent to my "The Throne" card.
But, let me first look.
Blessed be.

Hi myeye,
I have done some research and this is what I got to:
"Here is one extra new "gift" card that can be used in readings, as a bookmark or framed."
I quote Solandia's review:
"The cards are printed on the usual strong but thin card stock used by Magic Realist Press decks. The backs have a reversible, black and white, geometric skull and bones pattern, with ‘momentomori’ repeated in the inner bone hexagon. On the face, the cards are borderless. The are two editions of the Bohemian Gothic: the Silver, a limited edition of 500 copies has an extra card, Danse Macabre, which has no Rider-Waite counterpart but is intended to be a reminder of mortality and death. The standard edition has the companion book."
Excerpts from the Review by Bonnie Cehovet
"This edition of the "Bohemian Gothic Tarot" is a limited edition (500 copies) that is signed and numbered. It is a very special edition not only because of the stunning nature of the imagery, but because of the use of silver ink overlay. It is a full 78 card deck with one extra card … the "Danse Macabre", which shows a female figure, arms uplifted, dancing with skeleton figures. There is no meaning given for the extra card … but it is such a wonderful card that it could easily be used however the reader chose to define it … including being used as a card representing the Seeker. (The reading is, after all, the "dance" of the Seeker's life!)"
"The cards themselves are 3" by 5", of sturdy card stock. The reversible backs show a black background, with a stylized image in shadowed silver-gray, with the central "figure" showing two skills, facing each other. The is a six-sided figure, with the words "Memento Mori" written on the inside edges. The card faces have no border … the imagery goes right to the edge, and is in dark blues, silver and black, with brighter colors (red and orange) used judiciously."
OK, there you have it, I hope this will help.
Blessed be.

Hi
and thanks
The card That I have got is a Victorian type Lady sitting at
a dresser with make up and perfume
she's looking at her self in the mirror so you can see
her back sitting at the dresser and you can see her front
through the reflection in the mirror
but when you look closer the mirror looks like a scull
and both the back of her head plus the reflection of her head
make up the eyes of the scull ,and in writing it says
MEMENTO MORI
Ps the box isn't numberd
Thanks for your help Payewacker.

Well....since I haven't seen the card myself...neither used it...I must only evaluate out from the words you ask from....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori
Since you say it is not the Death card as such, then we "can" assume that it is a good "advice" to take into account in our life, especially when everything goes successful.....we can't take anything with us....we don't live forever...don't put away thing for tomorrow which you can do today...don't go away with unfinished business....
Well...just my thoughts
