A calavera is a representation of a human skull. The term is most often applied to decorative or edible skulls made (usually by hand) from sugar. Traditional methods for producing calaveras have been in use since the 17th century CE. The skulls are created either for children or as offerings to be placed on altars known as ofrendas for the Día de Muertos which has roots in the Aztec, Mayan, and Toltec cultural celebration of the Day of the Dead.
