Mexican retablo ex voto Skeletons in our picnic

Another beautiful thing for sale on ebay:

As my boyfriend and I didn't have a car to go to the country for a picnic day we decided to do one in the cemetery, we were there eating and chatting when the dead began to came out from their graves and coming toward us, we choke with the sandwiches and only thanks to the protection of the Virgen de Zapopan we could scape from there because the skeletons were already making a circle around us. We thanks for the help received.
This is a retablo painted on tin and the measure is 10" x 9".
