Rather than presenting death as frightening, the figure reflects the distinctly Mexican tradition of confronting mortality with humor and symbolism. Mexico's most enduring tradition is the personification of death as a familiar companion woven into everyday life. Long before the modern celebration of Día de los Muertos became internationally recognized, folk artists carved skeletal saints, guardians, and figures of Death that blended Indigenous concepts of mortality with Catholic imagery introduced during the colonial period. This piece can stand freely or wall hanging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"3849\" data-end=\"3852\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-section-id=\"1i7x1es\" data-start=\"3854\" data-end=\"3863\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"3865\" data-end=\"4448\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ojbmmr\" data-start=\"3865\" data-end=\"3885\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3867\" data-end=\"3878\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ykj9oj\" data-start=\"3886\" data-end=\"3918\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3888\" data-end=\"3897\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Probably c.1940 - 1960\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1io0ewn\" data-start=\"3919\" data-end=\"3973\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"3921\" data-end=\"3934\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-carved wood with polychrome paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"193av48\" data-start=\"4180\" data-end=\"4216\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"4182\" data-end=\"4197\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e (add measurements)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1kynywz\" data-start=\"4217\" data-end=\"4448\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"4219\" data-end=\"4233\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honest age-related wear throughout.
