Grinning skeletons share a feast and a bottle of tequila as marigolds illuminate the scene. Ana Maria González celebrates the Day of the Dead with a colorful chest for personal treasures. In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is about celebrating the life of those who have passed away, rather than mourning their deaths. People visit graves with offerings, including altars such as the one depicted on one side of the jewelry box. It features a compartment beneath the lid and a drawer.
Part of NOVICA's Dia de los Muertos collection.

Was disappointed to receive this item. The design was nice but the drawer, when closed, didnt align with the top. There was a noticeable space. Could fit a piece of cardboard to get it aligned but then you couldnt use the drawer and it looked tacky. Im a Day of the Dead collector and am saddened this was not the quality that Novica usually puts out. The picture doesnt show the drawer closed. The drawer is rather small as is the top.

Beautifully made box. I wanted a small box that I could place miscellaneous small items in at my desk and this works perfectly. The lid and drawer open and close easily, but the best part is every time I look at it I smile. Whats better than seeing a skeleton drinking a bottle of tequila. This is another artist that I plan on following.
