This is a unique leather wallet handcrafted in Mexico. This item features “LA MUERTE” which belongs to the traditional Mexican game of “LA LOTERIA”. La Loteria is a wonderful traditional card game similar to “Bingo.” However, it is also a form of folk art, as each of the colorful cards has an image of popular Mexican figures, such as “El Borracho” (The Drunk), “La Sirena” (The Mermaid), “La Chalupa” (The Flower Boat), etc. There are many different variations of these colorful cards, including Loteria cards with images from the Day of the Dead, fruits, and other unusual figures. The game is played using beans as place markers, and the name of each card is called out during the game. Traditionally, the person who calls out the cards should ideally make up a rhyme about the image, and the other players guess which one the person is talking about. They then place a dry bean on the object that they have correctly identified. When the cards are filled, the winner shouts “Loteria!” and wins a prize. LOTERIA!
