Day of the Dead - Papercuts

'El Día de los Muertos' -- Day of the Dead: Mexico's festival held in the first couple of days each year. The paper cutouts featured here are from a tradition reaching back to pre-Columbian times but these examples were produced in the 1980s in the main centre of this folkart: San Salvador Huixcolotla in Puebla state, Mexico.
