Ana Maria Gonzalez in Mexico creates this fun jewelry chest, employing the decoupage technique. A skeletal bride and groom are depicted on the top and front of the pinewood box, in homage to José Guadalupe Posada's La Calavera Catrina. The small chest features two drawers for storing small treasures.

The original "La Calavera Catrina" was a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject.

Ana Maria Gonzalez celebrates Day of the Dead traditions with the design of this jewelry box. She masters decoupage techniques featuring Mexico's lotería (bingo) cards with different skeletal images. The pinewood chest features a drawer and an upper compartment with three segments under the lid--perfect for keeping small treasures organized.
