Folkways in mythic Mexico suggest you cannot get out of work even if you are dead. Here we have a rustic skeleton farmer by the last family to use the original aniline dyes to paint their figurines. Timeless with an almost puritanical method of adhering to ancient toy making traditions. Calixto shines in his family when it comes to Day of the Dead themed pieces. Here we have his signature Beetlejuice style skeleton farmer with hat wielding a harvesting sickle.
