Skulls

The Mexican Skull or Calavera is a classic object of the Day of the Dead or Dia de Muertos of Mexico and is part local crafts. These skulls, which are found on altars of the dead, are considered the essential part of the body of the deceased. They brighten up with their color and the finesse of their manufacture and thus chase away the sadness that can arise when remembering missing people. They are thus, in Mexico, largely associated with life and not with death. This is why on Day of the Dead, Mexicans dress up as a skeleton or skull’s head and party while doing their offerings for their dearly departed.

The talented artists and craftsmen of Mexico who design and make the heads of the dead give free rein to their imagination to make skulls or skulls a unique work.

sugar skulls or calaveras de alfeñique are also very present among all Mexican skulls.
