Regina Tenebris – Black and Gold Veiled Death Bust – Handmade

Regina Tenebris – 🖤👑✨ Handmade Black & Gold Veiled Death Bust – Gothic Relic – Dark Academia Décor – Jesmonite Sculpture

🖤✨ Regina Tenebris (“Queen of Shadows”) is a hauntingly regal handmade sculpture depicting a skeletal bust draped in a veil and crowned with a fractured, golden crown. Finished in jet black with brushed antique gold, this piece embodies the fallen majesty of a forgotten monarch — a relic of power, loss, and eternal mystery. With its sombre veil and broken crown, the bust channels both beauty and decay, making it a striking centrepiece for gothic homes, ritual spaces, or dark academia interiors.

🎨 Handmade Craftsmanship

Each Regina Tenebris bust is carefully created by The Whispering Raven:

🖤 Jesmonite Casting – A stone-like, eco-conscious material chosen for durability and detail.
🎨 Black Pigmented Base – Deep black poured directly into the mould for lasting richness.
🖌️ Hand-Painted in Black – Acrylic layers add depth and shadow.
✨ Brushed with Antique Gold – Gold is delicately applied to the crown, veil folds, and skeletal features, creating an aged, regal finish while letting the black undertones show through.
🌟 Unique Detailing – Each piece is entirely one-of-a-kind, with natural variations in brushwork and casting.
