Cultural clay model

 

My clay model is a skull inspired by Día de Muertos or Day of the dead.  This celebration is celebrated on November 2nd to commemorate those  who have died. It is commonly celebrated in Mexico as it is associated with the Catholic religion. We paint our faces because it gives us a chance to overcome the fear of death. As you can tell by my clay model, painting would usually include a skull and colourful flowers all around.
