Mariachi Calaveras

Day of the Dead folk art could hardly be more authentic - this set of 5 mariachis is bursting with charm and enchants us with wonderful skulls and finely detailed hand-painting. 

The highlight of the Mariachi Calaveras lies in their extremely clever construction: the base of the figurines is a 3 x 3 cm clay base into which the grotesque-looking spindly wire legs are embedded. The skulls, adorned with small clay hats, and the hands are also anchored in the central body with wire and the instruments are glued in place. The heads of the figures can be aligned as desired and a slight bend in the back of the knees can be used to create a subtle dynamic in the legs - in the photo, which shows the figures from behind, we have illustrated this with the second figure from the left. It is very important that you balance each individual figure briefly over the base after unpacking to ensure that it stands securely. 

As mentioned at the beginning, the hand-painting is exquisite. The shape and facial expressions of the sculls may differ slightly from the photos shown here - as always, you will receive hand-picked quality from the famous manufactory of the Señora de las Calaveras in Oaxaca de Juarez.
