Silver Day of the Dead Mexican Folk Art by littlebirdandchick

Shared by littlebirdandchick in the Wooden Crafts


Product Description:

This vibrant Mexican folk art cross brings color and whimsy to any setting. I hand-painted the cross silver.

The bottlecap was recycled, cleaned, and painted black by hand. I also made and fired the skull. Each skull has flower detailing on it.

There are gemstone and sequin accents. Silver pewter milagros. (May vary) Milagros, also known as an ex-voto or dijes, are religious folk charms that are traditionally used for healing purposes and as votive offerings in Mexico and other areas of United States. In Spanish, the word milagro means "miracle."


In addition there are hand-painted flowers and a heart with polka dot border

DIMENSIONS: 4.5 inches wide X 8 & 1/8 inches high (In addition: There is a cut out on the back of the cross, so it is ready to be hung in your home today!!)
