Nicho Calavera

A nicho calavera is a type of Mexican folk art featuring a decorated shadow box (nicho) with a skeleton (calavera) theme, commonly used for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) to honor the deceased, blending vibrant folk art with symbols of mortality, often made from repurposed materials like tin or wood, and adorned with glitter, flowers, and miniature scenes.  This is a simple Day Of The Dead Skull and Cross Bone plaque surrounded by glitter and leaves and is 12 x 14cm
