[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 7530120, member: 16407"]I've been meaning to share this crazy find. It's a 12" x 9" x 5" handmade wooden box that looks pretty Dia de los Muertos. There's a little metal crank on the lower right outside of the box... [ATTACH=full]423132[/ATTACH] When you open the box it's a group of six skeletons around an open coffin, which also has a skeleton in it: [ATTACH=full]423133[/ATTACH] ...And when you turn the crank, all the arms of legs of the bystanders raise up, and then the dead person sits up! It's alive!! [ATTACH=full]423134[/ATTACH] I've found one other online that identified it as a "Oaxacan Skelton Box" and that one was made by someone named Felix Gomez in the 1980s. Anyway, I think it's good fun.[/QUOTE]
