Mexican Loteria

Ana Maria Gonzalez finds inspiration in Mexico's lotería (bingo) for the design of this decorative box. Crafted by hand, the box is adorned with decoupage. The traditional lotería 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.
