Mexican Folk Art Shadowbox “Nuns with Buns” — El Santo Madrazo
Playful Mexican folk art shadowbox by El Santo Madrazo (Cielito Lindo Estudio), titled “Nuns with Buns.” Handcrafted from steel, glass, ceramic, and clay, this wall-hanging piece presents a humorous Día de los Muertos–inspired diorama. Two skeletal nuns, one with a guitar, are depicted with exaggerated “buns” on display — a witty double entendre that captures the studio’s signature blend of satire and folk tradition. The frame, painted in vivid black, yellow, pink, and white, enhances the lively and irreverent scene.
This unique combination of traditional materials and contemporary humor makes it a standout collectible for enthusiasts of Latin American folk art, Day of the Dead celebrations, or tongue-in-cheek religious parody.
