Delivery Estimate
Grinning skeletons share a feast and a bottle of tequila as marigolds illuminate the scene. Ana Maria González celebrates the Day of the Dead with a colorful chest for personal treasures. In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is about celebrating the life of those who have passed away, rather than mourning their deaths. People visit graves with offerings, including altars such as the one depicted on one side of the jewelry box. It features a compartment beneath the lid and a drawer.
Part of NOVICA's Dia de los Muertos collection.

"Day of the Dead"
Was disappointed to receive this item. The design was nice but the drawer, when closed, didnt align with the top. There was a noticeable space. Could fit a piece of cardboard to get it aligned but then you couldnt use the drawer and it looked tacky. Im a Day of the Dead collector and am saddened this was not the quality that Novica usually puts out. The picture doesnt show the drawer closed. The drawer is rather small as is the top.

"Beautiful little box"
Beautifully made box. I wanted a small box that I could place miscellaneous small items in at my desk and this works perfectly. The lid and drawer open and close easily, but the best part is every time I look at it I smile. Whats better than seeing a skeleton drinking a bottle of tequila. This is another artist that I plan on following.

"Beautiful, small jewelry box celebrating the Dead"
I live close to the border with Mexico and have learned a lot about the culture since moving here decades ago. I always liked Halloween, but since becoming aware of the Day of the Dead I immediately took to it. I spend that day each year thinking about the people of significance in my life who are gone, and how one day I too will make that journey. I think the celebration is handled much, much differently in Mexico, but I am happy to have found this small momento to remind me of this important occasion every day. The craftsmanship is very well done. This is the second box I have purchased from this artist and I plan to add another soon. The compartments are not lined, but this can be added easily. Check dimensions so you are not disappointed with sizing. Also, note that the brightness of the colors can vary due to photography settings and computer monitor resolution.

"Colorful "Anywhere" Accessory Box For Jewelry, Etc"
Another "home run" for Ana Maria Gonzales in my book. This small box could be placed almost anywhere and used as a keep-safe for many things, but especially to corral stray jewelry bits and pieces. The interior is plain, stained pinewood, but a bit of cushioning felt could easily be added if desired. I adore the graphic: colorful, bright, happy, and amusing. As with all her boxes (I have five at present and three more on order) the execution is perfect. And I do mean flawless. This is a quality object. The lid fits exact and square, and is securely attached with two perfect brass hinges. The little drawer has a shiny, brass pull, well-secured. The edges of both the lid and the pedestal bottom are double-beveled, and finished in a burnished, antiqued gold. I love this little box--bought it for a gift, but couldn't give it away after it was in my hands.

"A lovely piece!"
I have a collection of gorgeous, small boxes of many different kinds, materials and finishes. This beauty caught my eye immediately and is a wonderful addition to my collection. It is unique from any of the others and is so lovely on its own. I will put some of my newly acquired Novica pieces of jewelry in it as I have it in a location which is convenient for that use and perfect to keep it safe. This is my first piece from Ana Maria, but I am so pleased that I will be reviewing her collection for other lovely pieces for both myself and my lucky gift recipients! Thanks Ana Maria and Novica!! I highly recommend this and believe you will be as pleased as I am with Ana Marias work!

"As a cat lover, and collector of things Mexican, I truely love this item"
This little treasure is good for keeping my jewelry, but it is also an asset to my Mexican room, my second bedroom. I love the way the cats are depicted and worked into the art. I will enjoy keeping my jewelry in this beautiful piece which all can admire.
