About the Item

Discover the charm of traditional Mexican folk art with this handcrafted wooden “Day of the Dead Calaveritas” toy, created by master artisans Sanjuana España Rodríguez and Guillermo Trejo Soriano from Guanajuato, Mexico. This piece is a stunning example of artisanal craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and playful nostalgia. This interactive wooden toy embodies the spirit of Día de Muertos, Mexico’s iconic celebration of life and death. At the base of the piece, a mischievous red devil spins the wheel, controlling the fate of two skeleton lovers—sometimes allowing them to kiss, other times keeping them apart. This symbolic and humorous depiction represents the idea of eternal love beyond death, a theme central to the Mexican Day of the Dead. ✔ Authentic Mexican Folk Art – Handmade and hand-painted by renowned toy artisans with generations of experience. ✔ One-of-a-Kind Décor – A vibrant and whimsical addition to any Día de Muertos altar, home, or folk art collection. ✔ Interactive and Nostalgic – Brings back the joy of traditional Mexican wooden toys, making it a conversation piece for all ages. Vintage-inspired Mexican folk art. ✔ Symbolic & Playful – Represents the humor, mystery, and romance of Día de los Muertos through its dynamic spinning motion.
