The Mexican skull is often represented as a stylized human skull, adorned with colorful details and intricate patterns. It is often associated with the Feast of the Dead, which takes place every year in Mexico on November 2. During this celebration, Mexicans pay tribute to their dead by placing offerings on graves and decorating their homes with flowers, candles and sugar skulls.
The Mexican skull is also used as a symbol of resistance and the fight against oppression. It has been adopted by many movements fighting for the rights of indigenous and aboriginal peoples, as well as by anti-racism and anti-discrimination movements.
Outside Mexico, the Mexican skull has become a popular symbol in fashion and art culture, used to create T-shirts, jewelry and artwork. It is also frequently used in tattoos and piercings.
