This is a perfect centerpiece for a Santa Muerte Altar or would make for a welcome addition to any elegant Gothic home decor.

She is the personification of death,  associated with healing, protection, financial wellbeing, and assurance of a path to the afterlife. Her worship can be traced back to when the Aztec goddess of death, Mictecacihuatl, merged with the European cencept of the Grim Reaper.
