Why You’ll Love It
This wonderfully macabre skeleton rising from the grave vignette was handcrafted by Margene Crossan in 2008. A partially unearthed skeleton emerges from a textured burial plot beneath a weathered RIP gravestone, surrounded by realistic soil, stones, moss, grasses, and dried vegetation. Brilliantly designed to blend directly into a miniature landscape, the piece creates the illusion of a long-forgotten grave being disturbed from below. It is inscribed “one of a kind,” on the underside making it an especially distinctive addition to a haunted miniature collection.
Perfect for: Graveyards, haunted houses, crypts, gothic gardens, Halloween dollhouses, spooky landscapes, and seasonal yard decor.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
