Inspired from the wild west hills of the upper chihuahuan desert, the cajas were created to tell the story of a New Mexico ghost town named Cuchillo. Each one-of-a-kind, hand painted caja is a playful creation reminiscent of the odd characters that roamed these dusty dirt roads. These familiar images of New Mexican Culture have been placed on a canvas of pressed tin ceiling tiles which were designed after the old saloon ceilings.

Crafted by Native New Mexican Artist Josh Bond at his home and studio at the Old Cuchillo Bar and Hotel in Cuchillo, NM.
