Mexican Loteria Mexican Bingo Decoupage on Wood Decorative Box _artisan--novica-artisan-11184 Featherweight silk in hues befittingAna Maria Gonzalez finds inspiration in Mexico's lotera (bingo) for the design of this decorative box. Crafted by hand, the box is adorned with decoupage. The traditional lotera includes 54 different images and numbers, and it is believed to have been brought to Mexico in 1769, when it was reserved for the upper classes. Eventually it became widely played by everyone, and is now a trademark at traditional fairs as well as in homes and schools.
