Little food offering plate decorations for the Day of the Dead celebrations to honor departed souls.
Dia de los Muertos celebrations are based in the belief that the souls of the ones gone can come back to this world on these days.
The Day of the Dead altars are a prominent feature in the celebrations because they show the souls the way to their home. Altars make the souls (animas) feel welcomed and show them they have not been forgotten.
About 2" in diameter; made from clay, wood and papier-mache. Each is unique in its combinations of 'offerings' and details.
Randomly chosen dishes. Great also for dollhouses, or making magnets.
Handmade in Mexico.
