The listing, Sugar Skull, Coffin, Day of the Dead, Dia de Los Muertos, All THAT. has ended.
El Día de los Muertos se festeja en México y algunos otros países latinoamericanos los días 1 y 2 de noviembre de cada año. Su origen se remonta a las prácticas y creencias de las culturas prehispánicas, aunque hoy en día incorporan elementos tambien del cristianismo y hasta toques modernos.
Loosely translated, that means: "My brother eats too much corn".
Okay, I'm joking.
You guys know what the celebration is, I am sure, or you'd not be here. I celebrate it each year and am rather obsessed with a lot of it...... though, I'm also obsessed with bits of many other cultures....
I mean how many other pasty white chicks do you know who are Native American, Austrian and Scottish and have studied Haitian Voodoo (I hate that spelling) for 20 years? Probably not many..... but I digress. Oh and no I don't curse your jewelry. I study things..... I study serial killers too but I don't murder people..... where was I? OH, we were in Mexico!
Sadly, I named my Chihuahua Muerto.... hahahahaha. Yeah. My neighbours are all like, "mezquino!" Whatever. I pretend it means beautiful.
OH!! The necklace!!!!!!!
Obviously it is a necklace. The cameo is 3cm x 4.5 cm including bail. The necklace is asymmetrical with one sided beaded in various reds, black, silver and clear with one hand-made clay, hand-painted coffin about an inch long dangling from it!
