About this item: 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.

About our Artist: Mexico’s Ana Maria Gonzalez says, ‘For as long as I can remember, I’ve been around arts and crafts. My whole family produced something and when we’d visit our relatives, my cousins and I would make something for fun. After I married, my husband and I created various kinds of handicrafts, but I felt a need to make something. I began making decorative boxes, painted by hand with different finishes. Today I create boxes with antique motifs.’
