Skeleton Folk Art

Small skeleton figurines are handmade by artisans and sold at outdoor markets. (Unless they're really good artists and export all their folkart to the United States!) Families look forward to shopping for these skeletons (calaveras) to decorate their home altars and cemetery tombs. New pieces are bought each year. They are always depicting a happy skeleton doing something they enjoyed when they were alive. Most of the folk art we sell is made by artisans in Oaxaca, Puebla, and the state of Mexico.
