Grinning widely, this small skull figurine adds a cultural accent to any space. Miguel Diaz in Mexico crafts the papier mache sculpture in the tradition of Huichol crafts, attaching tiny glass beads in elaborate patterns using beeswax as an adhesive. The Huichol or Wixarika are an indigenous people in central western Mexico.
