Ornamented Skull: Background & Facts

Decorated skulls are a central symbol of Mexico’s Day of the Dead. They stand for remembrance, joy of life, and connection to loved ones who have passed. Instead of somber mourning, colors, blossoms, and patterns show that death is part of life. Skulls are made from sugar or clay and often inscribed with a name. On November 1 and 2 they adorn home altars. This coloring motif fosters cultural understanding and suits creative projects about memory and identity.
