Design Incorporated cultural designs as seen on Mexican candy skulls (flowers, patterns, gems)
Incorporated one type of Mexican design.
Designs are more related to Halloween than Day of the Dead.
Did not paint any designs on skull.
Craftsmanship Entire skull is painted neatly (no plaster spots peeking through). Skull is sturdy and in one piece.
Some spots of plaster peak through. Some sloppy paint spots.
A lot of plaster is seen through the paint. Very streaky and lazy paint job. Skull may be falling apart.
Put no effort at all into painting. Skull is falling apart due to mishandling.

Some parts of the design are copied, but not everything.

Skull design is a direct copy from somewhere else.

No name on the skull.
