Measuring 19/32" x 1/2" x 15/32", the Aquilo Sugar Skull is a small piece with a commanding presence, embodying both craftsmanship and myth.

The Aquilo design draws its inspiration from the fierce northern wind, a force that carries both life and destruction. This theme is echoed in its intricate sugar skull detail, combining elements of cultural symbolism with a dark, weathered finish. Cast in pewter and finished in Black Ox, it has a depth of character that captures both beauty and menace. The finish gives the skull an aged, battle-worn look, as though it has weathered countless storms.

The legend behind Aquilo brings the piece to life. As the cold wind from the north, Aquilo is described as relentless, grinding down mountains, driving snow and rain, and bringing both pain and renewal. This tale, penned by Mike Searson, lends the bead an air of myth and gravitas that transforms it into more than a decorative accessory—it becomes a symbol of elemental force and inevitability.
