Handmade Skull Candle Holder
This charming hand-painted skull candle holder is sculpted from clay. The skull is a light gray with hollowed eyes and designs for the nose and teeth impressed. Raised designs of petals sit around the crown of the skull, painted green, yellow, and red. A tall hallowed cylinder sits at the top of the skull, painted blue, meant to hold a single tapered candle.
The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos, Día de los Difuntos or Día de Muertos in Spanish) is a traditional holiday in Mexico and many South American countries. Based on a syncretization of ancient pre-Hispanic and Christian beliefs, this celebration of the memory of deceased ancestors is celebrated from dusk on October 31st through November 1 (All Saints Day) and November 2 (All Souls' Day).
Sculpted skulls of this sort are popular decorations for Day of the Dead, and would be a great addition to an altar or as home décor. This piece was sourced from Mexico.
