This stunning half cactus/half skeleton sculpture is handmade by artisans in Mexico specifically for the Day of the Dead.
Day of the Dead (Spanish Dia de los Muertos) is celebrated in Mexico and other Latin American countries and is also called All Souls Day. Beautiful skeleton folkart is crafted and purchased to place on home altars and at the cemeteries in homage to one's ancestors. Special bread, candies and other foods are also prepared.
