Product Description
Celebrate the artistry of Oaxaca with this handmade Barro Bordado clay skull, handcrafted by the Blanco family in Atzompa, Oaxaca, Mexico.
The natural clay skull is decorated with intricate hand-applied flowers, leaves, and ornamental details that create the dimensional “embroidered” appearance characteristic of Barro Bordado. Every decorative element is shaped and applied by hand, making each skull a one-of-a-kind example of Oaxacan clay artistry.
Designed to be both decorative and functional, this piece is beautiful for a Día de Muertos altar or ofrenda, as a candleholder or luminaria, or as year-round Mexican folk art décor.
