About the Item

Master artisans Sanjuana España Rodríguez and husband Guillermo Trejo Soriano (Guanajuato, México) have been known for hand crafting Mexican traditional toys. Sanjuana's late father was a master of this beautiful toy craft tradition, and taught his daughter and son in law his pursuit for toy-crafting. Known for their colorful ludic appearance, these interactive toys represent the Mexican culture and bring nostalgia of past childhoods. This clapping calaca calaverita toy represents the traditional Day of the Dead with humor and interaction. By manually turning the handle in circular motion the skeleton claps and opens his mouth with amusement. Skull folk art.
