SilverCrow Creations Day of the Dead (Muertos) Figures & Diorama Box Scenes

Looking for Hallowe'en? or Day of the Dead Sundries & Specialty Items?

These Posada-like Day of the Dead character skeletons are made of the traditional plaster or papier mâché. We have a limited number of each of the characters. Each one is completely different because they are hand-sculpted and hand painted. Add one to your own special nicho or retablo. Create an entire vignette with several of them. Several characters, such as Catrina maybe be dressed in any color - we've not seen two the same - so please let us choose for you.

Well, even Oprah tried it, so we guess pole dancing isn't as taboo as it once was. Our Day of the Dead Pole Dancer represents that sensual part of all of us.

All of our Day of the Dead figures are made by traditional artisans and are hand sculpted and painted by traditional Mexican artisans. Each of these Muertas measures about 3 inches high, but the pole may make it larger. As you can see in the illustration, the Muertas are different parts of the dance, and so far, we've not received any that was like another we have! So, please let SilverCrow choose one for you!

More Shrines & Shrine Supplies

More Day of the Dead

More Weddings

Once used as portable shrines or altars, retablos are colorfully painted and hold painted, plaster figures representing something special in the holder's life.

This little matchbox shrine features a bride and groom. In most of them, the groom is serenading the bride. The little figures are highly detailed in form and in the painted features. Each of the muertos is about 1-1/2 inches high and their little arms and hands are so finely created.

Please allow for variation in painting and in the couple, as each of these little retablos is handmade.

We love the plain nature of the the outside of the retablo - this allows you to alter it to fit the celebration that you might want to remember. You might add the names of the bride and groom, or add photos and other adornments.

The box or niche measures 2 inches wide by 1-1/2 inch high by 1/2 inch deep. The roof facade makes the entire retablo measure 2-1/8 inches high. When the doors are open completely, the piece is 4 inches wide.

Two retablos are shown for illustration.

This special diorama is created almost like a shrine or nicho, with our Muertos behind glass. Dioramas like these were collected by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera for the art an beauty as well as the cultural heritage.

This diorama showcases a newlywed couple - apparently Catrin and Catrina. She is sweet and shy in her simple lace veil. He is quite debonair in in his top hat and tails! The deep blue glittery night is behind them and they are surrounded with silver leaves.

The diorama measures about 4-1/8 inches high by 3-1/8 inches wide and about 1-13/16 inch deep. There is a little loop on the back just in case you want to hang it. But, it is just tacked in, so you can probably remove the loop - or, indeed, bend it down.

All of our Day of the Dead figures and the boxes are made by traditional artisans and are hand sculpted and painted by traditional Mexican artisans. Each is a bit different as they are all handmade! Please let SilverCrow choose one for you!

Holding a large bag of money is our Muertos Banker. Now we wonder, is he taking it from you or presenting it to you (of course, we hope it's the latter!). Dressed in a suit with matching Stetson, he'll be certainly a dapper addition to your Muertos collection.

Day of the Dead Woman Doing Her Own Hair

What a special day at the hairdressers these lovely ladies are having! This neat diorama measures about 5 inches wide by 3-1/4 inches high and 2-3/4 inches deep. You might be better able to tell the story of the ladies in the salon, but we suspect they are speaking of the men in their lives, whilst they all are smoking (not the hairdresser, as that might be dangerous!). A long mirror reflects in the background. The front of the diorama reads:

"Salón de Belleza"
(Beauty Salon)

All of our Day of the Dead figures and diorama boxes are made by traditional artisans and are hand sculpted and painted by traditional Mexican artisans. Each is a bit different (and colors may vary) as they are all handmade! The ladies' positions may vary slightly as well. Please let SilverCrow choose one for you!

Day of the Dead Diorama - At the Gravesite

More Day of the Dead

We're not so sure what's going on here, but we were certainly taken with it. Perhaps these two are honoring the dead. Seated on the grave is a Muerta woman in a bikini and, at the foot of the grave stands a fully dressed gentleman. The grave bears a green wreath which might indicate that this is a new burial, or, indeed, that it is during the celebratory Days of the Dead. Once it's yours, you can create your own fiction or reality.

This special diorama is created almost like a shrine or nicho, with the two Muertos and the finely created accessories in a box, which measures about 4 inches wide, 2-1/2 inches high and about 2 inches deep. Dioramas this finely made are generally much more expensive than this. So, we feel lucky to have found it.

Each table is painted a different color, making the one you receive even more yours! The table top is trimmed with lace and covered with an assortment of foods, skulls, candles, dinnerware and holy pictures. You might consider adding a miniaturized photograph of your ancestor to the table as well.

The entire piece measures 3 inches high (including the offerings). The tables, because they are hand made, vary slightly in size, but they average around 4 inches long by 2-3/4 inches wide.

Although the design is similar, each of the individual pieces varies slightly due to the nature of hand-made folk art. And the items on the table may differ slightly and may even be placed a little differently. We had a hard time choosing which one to photograph as they were all so wonderful!

Anyone would welcome the lovely butterflies just for their beauty, but the local residents believe that the butterflies bear the spirits of their beloved ancestors, which are honored during Los Dias de los Muertos.

The stringing hole goes from top to bottom and measures just under 3mm, so it should accommodate many beading techniques. The beads measure 1 inch from top to bottom and 1-1/8 inch from wing tip to wing tip.

No two are painted the same and wing color differs, as does the decoration. Each little butterfly has a flower in her hair as well!

Postcard of Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera con Judas

Our Day Of The Dead Papier Mâché Judas is a traditional character present in many Mexican and Central American celebrations. By tradition, Judas characterizations are made in the images of those in authority - such as judges and the police. In celebrations, they are filled with gun powder and fireworks and when exploded, a great cloud of paper scraps and smoke appears, the paper raining down around the celebrants.

Of course, ours is an image only (no gun powder or fireworks are included). Figures like this little fellow were made even more popular by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera as they began to collect them along with other local folk art.

Each of these is very different from the next - from his horns to his wings to his body decoration. These are hand sculpted, painted and decorated by traditional artisans in the same manner they have made these for decades.

Every Judas is vibrantly colored in reds, blues and yellows. The approximate measurements are 15-1/2 inches from the tip of his horns to the bottoms of his feet. From wingtip to wingtip, he is about 7-1/4 inches wide. And, as he sits on your shelf or chair, he measures 7 inches from front to back.

Mexico's Festival of Communion with the Departed - Los Dias de Muertos, un Festival de Comunion con los Muertos en Mexico.

José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) was Mexico's illustrious graphic artist. For over forty years, he worked tirelessly as an incorruptible and truly popular artist, illustrating cookbooks and fortune-telling books, collections of songs and riddles, periodicals and newspapers, children's books and novels and most of all- the famous broadsides that were distributed throughout the country. After his death he was venerated by the new generation of artists -- Rivera, Orozco and many others, who realized that he had both saved and renewed the art of engraving in Mexico and who incorporated much of his imagery into their own work.

There are 273 reproductions of Posada's best engravings - all done for the printer & publisher A. Vanegas Arroyo in Mexico City. Along with the prints, you'll find explanatory notes and commentary, often with topical meaning to what otherwise appears vague or allegorical.

This softbound book is 156 pages and measures 8-3/8 by 11-1/4 inches

Sterling Silver Catrina Earrings

More Day of the Dead
More Earrings

The coquettish image of the Catrina inspires Maria Belen Nilson's Day of the Dead Catrina Earrings. Catrina is the original creation of José Guadalupe Posada, renowned author, journalist and political cartoonist (1852-1913). Posada is credited for popularizing the Day of the Dead celebrations, especially through the creation of skeletal (calaca) cartoons that capture the Mexican attitude towards death.

One of the most renowned skeletons is the Catrina, (meaning "dapper lady"), and she is always elegantly dressed featuring a wide brimmed hat with flowers. Our earrings set measures 3/4 inch wide by about 2 inches long. These are hand made, so please allow for variation.
