Calavera

A calavera, meaning "skull" in Spanish, is a decorative or artistic representation of a human skull associated with Mexican culture. It often appears during Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, symbolizing death in a positive, colorful, and respectful way. Calaveras can be made from sugar, clay, or other materials and are used to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. They represent the cycle of life and death, emphasizing remembrance with vibrancy and cultural significance rather than fear.
