Metztli and Itzli are a pair of five foot gold skeleton sentries, the ancient guardians of the underworld standing watch at your door. Each holds a pumpkin staff, and built in LED lights make their hollow eyes and staffs glow after dark. They are hand painted with a distressed antique finish that blends gothic horror with an elegant, regal look, and they stand on their own indoors or out.
Key Features
- Glowing eyes and staffs: Battery powered LED lights set the hollow eyes and the pumpkin staffs aglow, so the pair keeps watch long after sunset with no cords to run.
- A true matched pair: Metztli faces right and Itzli faces left, so they mirror each other on either side of a doorway, gate, or walk.
- Five feet of presence: Each sentry stands 55 to 58.75 inches tall, big enough to anchor a porch or entry on its own.
- Iron and polyresin build: Mostly iron with polyresin detail, painted by hand in a matte, distressed antique finish that looks old on purpose.
What's Included
You get both sentries, Metztli (right) and Itzli (left), each about 17 x 12.75 inches at the base and 55 to 58.75 inches tall with a glowing pumpkin staff. They ship one figure per carton, two cartons in all. Each needs 2 AAA batteries, 4 total, which are not included.

Why these sentries command the door
Built as a mirrored pair
Metztli stands on the right and Itzli on the left. Set them on either side of a door, gate, or path and they frame the entrance like true guardians of the underworld.
Regal, not cartoonish
A hand painted gold finish with distressed antique wear gives the pair a gothic, museum piece look. They suit a grown up, elegant Halloween style far better than bright plastic decor does.

Which door guardians are right for my home?
vs. a blow mold inflatable
Inflatables need an outlet and a fan. These sentries glow on batteries and never slump over.
vs. a plug in animated figure
No cords to trip over or outlets to find. They glow quietly and keep a regal pose.
vs. a plastic skeleton
Thin plastic looks like a costume prop. These are iron with a hand painted antique finish that reads as real decor.
