Created in imitation of the sugar skulls made in celebration of the Mexican Day of the Dead (Dia de lose Muertos), this skull-shaped box is a rather beautiful creation. Decorated with patterns of flower, a Cross, and similar colorful patterns against a white backdrop, the skull stops being a macabre image and becomes a celebration of the dead. Lift up the top portion, and you will also find a spacious container in which you can place sacred herbs, offerings, and any manner of ritual item that you can think of. The whole box, sculpted of cold cast resin, measures 4 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" wide, with interior dimensions of approximately 2 1/2" by 2 1/2".
