These comical portraits of everyday people portrayed as skeletons are a Day of the Dead tradition. These are made in the state of Puebla, Mexico. Hand sculpted, then hand painted and occasionally embellished with glitter, they are often included in Day of the Dead alters. They also make great small gifts. An entire menagerie of Day of the Dead characters could accent a bookshelf or side table.

All measurements are approximate as each hand made, hand painted Day of the Dead figurine can vary in size and painted details.
