Mexican folk art (Día de los Muertos - Day of the Dead) Coaster

The coaster has a design that depicts a sugar skull (calavera) — a beautifully decorated skull often used to honor and celebrate loved ones who have passed away. The vibrant colors, floral motifs (especially the roses), and intricate detailing are all characteristic of Day of the Dead iconography. These kinds of artworks are meant to represent life, remembrance, and beauty within mortality, rather than fear or darkness. The black background emphasizes the bright, joyful colors — a common stylistic contrast in Mexican folk art to highlight the celebration of life even in death.
