The celebrations held in honor of the Day of the Dead cannot be complete without this harmonious ensemble of female mariachis and their vibrant melodies. Directly from Mexico, Jorge Escamilla's set of six sculptures is the perfect addition to a traditional decor theme with a touch of feminine charm, as each piece—meticulously painted by hand—displays a sublime dress and little musical instruments boasting classic details.

Working with traditional Talavera techniques that date back to the 16th century, Puebla artisan Isabelle Collins creates this remarkable skull sculpture. Black and white local clay is cleaned, matured and then kneaded to achieve the proper consistency. Once the pieces are formed, they are dried slowly in unventilated spaces before being fired and glazed. The skull is decorated in two styles; one side has traditional Talavera motifs in cobalt on white, while the other side has a random spatter pattern of black on natural beige.
