Las culturas prehispánicas de México honraban a sus muertos a través de celebraciones y conmemoraciones; después de la llegada de los españoles, estas tradiciones culturales se fusionaron con los rituales y festividades de la iglesia católica, en particular el Día de los Fieles Difuntos en noviembre, que ahora se conoce comúnmente como el Día de los Muertos. Influenciados por estas costumbres ancestrales, los artesanos han estado creando artesanías utilizando imágenes de calaveras durante siglos. Jesus and Roxana Hernandez del estado mexicano de Oaxaca presenta esta llamativa pieza de decoración para el hogar con forma de calavera tallada a mano en madera de copal. Sobre un color base amarillo, se dibujan líneas negras para simular una textura escamosa, luego, la calavera se decora a mano con parches de patrones geométricos en la parte superior y los lados en rojo, verde y rosa. Las cuencas de los ojos y las cavidades nasales oscuras están delineadas en azul y verde. Dos filas de dientes de color blanco perlado completan el colorido cráneo.
