In Mexican culture, Calaveras or skulls are decorated with bright colors, often with the name of the departed written on the head. Iconic for its representation of the "Dia de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead), the skulls are used as decorations, souvenirs, and even children's toys. Yes, I can see it now, these would make excellent rattlers!

See my photostream for more Day of the Dead. I put many Dia De Los Muertos pieces out in October and early November -- but I don't actually mix them with my vintage Halloween because in old Mexico that's considered a cultural infraction of sorts. But she is so beautiful with her salt glaze colouring, tiny baby on her back, long braids and somber expression.
