Día de Muertos - Day of the Dead Adult Female Mask. Heavy duty plastic mask. I used acrylic paint, crystals, rhinestones, red and lavender colored roses, with white lilies, Of course I put in a few skulls. To complete the mask I have added beautiful white tule veil in the front and back that is 14 and 1/2 inches long. The mask comes with a black tie. If you would like an elastic band instead, please let me know, and I will make the change at no additional charge. Each mask is unique, and out of respect to our loved ones who have passed I make each of my ladies beautiful. I keep my prices low, but please be assured I spend many hours making my ladies. Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos) is a Mexican holiday which is celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, along with people of Mexican ancestry who live in the United States. It is acknowledged internationally in many other cultures. The multi-day holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey. The holiday is sometimes called Día de los Muertos this is a back-translation of its original name, Día de Muertos. Prior to Spanish colonization in the 16th century, the celebration took place at the beginning of summer. Gradually it was associated with October 31, November 1 and November 2 to coincide with the Western Christian triduum of Allhallowtide: All Saints' Eve, All Saints' Day, andAll Souls' Day
