Description

Cielito Lindo Estudio “Bone Marley” Mexican Folk Art Coffin Nicho

A vibrant Mexican folk art coffin nicho by Cielito Lindo Estudio (El Santo Mabrazo), titled Bone Marley. This hand-painted shadow box features a skeleton figure styled as Bob Marley, complete with dreadlocks, a peace-sign shirt, and a guitar — blending Día de los Muertos themes with playful pop culture satire. The coffin-shaped frame is crafted from pressed steel and painted with bold floral motifs, while the interior scene is enclosed by a hinged glass door. Three-dimensional paper roses crown the top, enhancing its festive visual impact. Designed for wall mounting, it showcases the humor and creativity of contemporary Mexican artisan traditions.

Condition
Good condition overall. Colors remain vibrant and the frame is sturdy, with no noted damage. Minor surface irregularities are consistent with age and handmade construction.

Dimensions
6 1/2 x 4 x 2 in. (height x width x depth)
Pressed steel frame, hand-painted with glass front.
Can be wall-mounted or displayed on a table.
