This 7.75” Santa Muerte statue is hand-carved from real cow bone and hand-painted, then personally sourced in Mexico by Ed and Eddie. The addition of black paint accentuates the carving’s depth while allowing the natural bone of the skull to remain visible, creating a striking contrast that highlights both craftsmanship and symbolism.
Depicted holding her scythe, Santa Muerte stands in a solemn, commanding posture. The painted finish follows traditional folk-art styling, enhancing the figure’s presence without obscuring the organic character of the bone beneath. Subtle tool marks, tonal shifts, and surface variations remain visible, reinforcing the piece’s authenticity.
Santa Muerte is traditionally associated with protection, balance, guidance, and safe passage, and pieces of this nature are commonly regarded as devotional objects rather than decorative items.
