Rooted in Mexican celebration and satire, the traditional “Judas” figure is a vibrant piece of folk art often associated with Holy Week festivities and popular Mexican artisan culture. This handcrafted paper mâché devil carries the bold spirit, humor, and expressive character that make Judas figures so beloved across generations.
Each piece is individually handmade and hand-painted by artisans in Ciudad de México (CDMX), giving every figure its own personality. Some may feature a moustache, different stripe patterns, facial expressions, or slight variations in painting and shape, making every Judas truly one of a kind.
