Dia de Los Muertos : Red wooden and glass box: Marriage/ funeral theme

8 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches

Small altars are created in shadow boxes to replicate what might be built for a deceased loved one during The Day of the Dead in Mexico. This is a time in which those who have lost loved ones honor their lives by hanging photos and placing offerings such as bread and fruit. The creation of these has evolved to include beloved historic or pop culture figures, and to celebrate the simple things in life, like going to the market. Each and every shadow box is a unique, handmade treasure.
