During the Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico, ofrendas are placed throughout the house to welcome the deceased home. Often additional treats are included with the ofrendas such as sugar skulls, which is a traditional holiday treat.
This sugar skull is white with pink and white flowers and yellow leaves, a purple headband, blue eyebrows and lips, and green eyes.
