This joyful little skeleton retablo brings the rhythm and revelry of Día de los Muertos right into your home. Handmade in Peru using traditional folk art techniques, it features a bright, hand-painted Calavera skeleton shaking a pair of maracas — the ultimate symbol of celebration, music, and life after death.
Whether you're styling a Day of the Dead altar, curating quirky Halloween decor, or adding a splash of Latin kitsch to your Christmas display, this colourful box is packed with personality and tradition. Retablos are a cherished form of Latin American folk art, often used to depict religious or cultural scenes — and this one is no exception, full of energy and charm. Perfect for a home shrine, mantel, bookshelf, or gift, this is a true conversation starter and collectible piece of handmade heritage.

Doing our part for the environment.
We try to use recycled packaging for all of our orders so you can expect to receive your item in a pre-used carton or container but don't worry, it will still reach you in perfect condition.
When we can't use a pre-loved box, we'll use recyclable packaging envelopes and paper tape made from 100% recycled fibres.
We encourage you to re-use your packaging either to mail other items or in crafts with your little monkeys - the hours of fun that can be had with a cardboard box are priceless!
