Crafting a Mexican clay skull-shaped candelabra is a labor-intensive process steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. Skilled artisans start by hand-selecting high-quality clay, which is then carefully shaped and molded into the iconic skull form, paying meticulous attention to intricate detailing such as floral patterns and geometric designs. Once the clay has dried and hardened, it undergoes the hand-painting process. The candelabra's arms and flowers were individually crafted and attached, providing space for candles, while the entire piece is fired in a kiln to ensure its durability.

Doña Esther Real and her husband Don Emilio Ortiz have been making Barro negro for many generations and continue the tradition with their three children. Their family business supports 10 families in their community, and they have expanded over the years. Barro negro pottery (“black clay”) is a style of pottery from San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca, distinguished by its color, sheen and unique designs. The origins of Barro negro pottery extended through the Monte Albán period (500 BC), with examples of it found at archeological sites, fashioned mostly into jars and other utilitarian items. It has remained a traditional craft of the Zapotecs and Mixtecs of the Central Valleys area to the present day. Originally Barro negro pottery was matte, grayish and very sturdy. In the 1950s, it was discovered that you could change the color and shine of the pieces by polishing the clay pieces and firing them at a slightly lower temperature. Just before the formed clay piece is completely dry, it is polished with a quartz stone to compress the surface. After firing, the piece emerges a shiny black instead of a dull gray. This innovation makes the pieces more delicate, but the final piece looks amazing.
