Haitian Metal Skeleton Mermaid Wall Art Handmade Recycled Steel Fair Trade

Handmade Haitian Skeleton Mermaid Metal Wall Sculpture

Discover an extraordinary piece of Haitian folk art handcrafted from recycled steel oil drums. This striking wall sculpture depicts a skeleton mermaid gracefully holding a conch shell, blending maritime folklore with the imaginative artistry of Haiti's renowned metalworkers.

Each sculpture is individually hand-cut, hammered, and embossed by skilled artisans in the village of Croix-des-Bouquets, where discarded steel drums are transformed into intricate works of art using techniques passed down through generations.

Rich in symbolism, the mermaid has long represented mystery, transformation, and the sea, while the skeletal form reminds us of the enduring cycle of life. Together they create a captivating piece that is both thought-provoking and beautifully crafted.

Finished with a protective clear varnish, this sculpture is suitable for indoor or covered outdoor display and makes a unique addition to coastal homes, gothic collections, beach cottages, or eclectic art spaces.

Every purchase supports our Fair Trade project, Fighting Poverty with Art, providing sustainable income for Haitian artisans and their families.
