Animal skeletons and skulls are a common element on the Day of the Dead altars and represent the sacred passing of a family pet or Animal Spirits.
This Ram Skull is part of my animal skull paintings and is made from a real Ram Skull, not a reproduction.
Painted with a base of black spray paint and then painted with fluid acrylics and sealed with a high gloss varnish. This piece is ready to hang.
