    Description

    This very unique Day of the Dead diorama depicts an office scene where a man has come to the office of a woman appearing ready to engage in a business transaction. In Spanish on the mirror behind them are the words "Yo hago como que travajo" which translates to " I pretend to work, because they pretend to pay me."
    On the front of the diorama is the caption " Hi Jefe Hace Comogoene paga" which translates to "Hi Jeff, how can I pay you?"
    Three sides and the bottom of the diorama are made out of wood with the top and the front "open". There is a mirror behind the scene creating the allusion of a larger scene.
    4"X x 2.5"H x 2"D
    Hand painted.
