During Day of the Dead, street vendors find their way to the City with a myriad of special products to celebrate the holiday as well as sell special elements for the ofrendas. The Pajaeros still carry stacks of metal and hand made bird cages through the streets, and hand made cotton candy & poles of candy apples are a once-a-year treat.

Musicos in the Cemetery - It's the job of the current mayor of a village to pay for the cemetery's music on November 2. Sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's very squeeky and cheap music. It's hard to live it down if you don't provide good music for your village. The mayor also has to pay for the rented chairs and some impress their village neighbors with paying for a Coca-cola truck to come give away free Cokes in the cemetery. It's very expensive to be mayor in Oaxaca!

Tiny Catrina Sugar Skull
The catrina is an iconic symbol of Day of the Dead, who was originally drawn in woodcut by Jose Guadalupe Posada back in the early 1910's. These difficult to make sugar skulls are painstakingly decorated with colored icing, doo-dahs, rick rack and feathers. Made by master sugar candy makers of Mexico, these are very special sugar skulls to adorn the home ofrendas. The fancier the better the offering! This probably would be placed on an ofrenda honoring a woman rather than a man.

Revolutionary Skull Mask
Great piece of folk art, which was inspired by the papier mache masks of Celeya in the 1940's. Great wall decoration. These come in bright assorted hat colors. These masks were actually used in the Independence parades of 16 de September, not for Day of the Dead. But, who cares???

Catrina Figurine in Pink

The Zona Rosa, or Pink Zone, is where many tourists stay when they're visiting Mexico City. I think it got its name from being a brothel zone before the Revolution. These big busted catrinas probably came from around the Zona Rosa in these striking, pink dresses! Frankly, these would make a good first piece of DoD folk art for a little girl who's still wild about PINK.

9" tall. Peru. On wood bases. Assorted
