Travel Shrine dedicated to Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte depicts a skull when closed. When open a full figure engraved on the left is revealed and the symbol from the front stands behind a small shelf that folds down for offerings. The design allows room inside when closed for a few small items, such as votive candle, lighter, incense and a small bottle of oil, perfect for the person on the go! Other designs are also available so contact us if you do not see the shrine you are looking for in the other altar boxes posted currently to Etsy.
Each item is made by artist/teacher Rev. Sarah Heartsong (www.heartsonghealingarts.net) while in prayer honoring the deity depicted. Special all natural, homemade anointing wax seals the dedication to the deity into the altar before it is sent out to the buyer.

NOTES:
We are in the middle of reformatting all our designs to new software with our laser engraver. The size of the images may vary somewhat from the pictures as we tweak the designs. All altar boxes naturally vary in look due to differences in the wood and how that specific box takes the stain. All boxes are made to order and we are a small business, so plan timing accordingly. They can take up to 3 weeks depending on how busy we are and if we have stock at hand that fits your specific color choices.
Due to the quality of wood each piece is unique and each takes stains differently. There may be places where the stain takes darker and others hardly at all. This makes each shrine unique. Sometimes faces and/or shapes pop out in the pattern of the wood if one looks closely enough.
SHIPPING NOTE: Etsy only allows one weight and the weight of the boxes changes significantly. We've noticed that, for example, the tiny size it charges almost double for shipping to international locations than is necessary. If you buy the item and pay too much in shipping we refund the difference to you. If you don't pay enough for shipping internationally we eat the difference. Domestic shipping inside the USA is free, so this isn't an issue. If you are an international customer and want to pay exactly the right amount contact us directly and we will make a custom listing for you to purchase with the correct shipping. We also use Etsy's global shipping as a default. Thank you!
