Black Clay Wind Light

Right from our first shopping trip to Mexico, we’ve been that fascinated by the skulls made from black clay, that they stayed an essential element of our skull collection ever since.

Originating from an old family workshop, this awesome piece captivates the beholder with its sweet grin and finely crafted floral patterns. Use this handmade living accessory to give your home an individual touch all year long or put it as an eyecatcher on your Day of the Dead shrine. The big cutout eyes flicker & glow with the flame of tea lights which fit nicely inside the skull. The little gaps inside the decoration allow hot air from the candle flame to escape, so you may safely use the skull as a tea light holder 

The elaborate pottery with black clay follows a centuries-old tradition and brought worldwide fame to the dusty village of San Bartolo Coyotepec in the state of Oaxaca. Because of its uniqueness, the mystical black ceramics became a huge export success in the field of mexican craftmanship.
