Ana Maria Gonzalez finds inspiration in Mexico's lotería (bingo) for the design of this jewelry box. Featuring two drawers and a compartment under the lid, the box is adorned with decoupage. The traditional lotería includes 54 different images and numbers, and it is believed to have been brought to Mexico in 1769, when it was reserved for the upper classes. Eventually it became widely played by everyone, and is now a trademark at traditional fairs as well as in homes and schools.

This is a beautiful jewelry box. It is the second I purchased - the first being the Day of the Dead Loteria box. We gave both as gifts and everyone loved them. Ana Maria Gonzalez is a wonderful artist.

Ive always loved the designs on Mexican lotto cards and the way that they are worked on this piece is delightful. The finish is excellent.

This was a perfect gift for my sons 26th birthday; it was especially endeared to him as his grandparents (my parents) were from Mexico and playing loteria was a favorite past time. The box is beautifully crafted and will be treasured for many years.
