The design features a smooth skull base extending into a classic taper shaft, elegantly crowned with hand-sculpted wax blossoms and leaves.

Handcrafted in Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, this piece comes from Velas Guille, a third-generation family workshop dedicated to the sacred art of Oaxacan candle making. Renowned for preserving centuries-old techniques, the artisans of Velas Guille hand-dip cotton wicks layer by layer in pure beeswax before meticulously shaping individual floral petals by hand. Their candles are centerpiece elements of traditional Oaxacan altars, lifecycle ceremonies, and community celebrations.
