And also the cult of Our Lady of the Holy Death) or, colloquially, Santa Muerte (Holy Death), is a female deity (or folk saint depending on school of thought) in Mexican folk religion, particularly Folk Catholicism, venerated primarily in Mexico and the Southwestern United States. A personification of death, she is associated with healing, protection, and safe delivery to the afterlife by her devotees. Santa Muerte generally appears as a skeletal female figure, clad in a long robe and holding one or more objects, usually a scythe and a globe.

This piece is also hugely inspired by the photography of Paul Koudounaris well-known figure in the field of macabre art and art history. Who explores treasures and spectacular saints from the Catacombs of the world. !! Check his work out !!!

All one word

This piece has been upcycled and inspired by Mexican Folk Art and The Day Of The Dead festival.

The original statue really needed some love to bring it around and seeing as it was a bust, it just called out for sugar skull style painting.

It's hand painted and then sealed with three coats of satin varnish.

This piece is very heavy and will be packaged with care and lots of bubble wrap :)

Size: 11 inches in height

9 inches in width

All orders come with additional free extra items such as; charms, crucifixes, artwork or religious jewellery.

All items are bubble wrapped for protection with additional decorative gift wrap including stickers and tissue paper.

Can not show the details in only 5 pictures.
