Our first piece of foreign gold, chosen from a thousand similarly micro-crafted figures ranging from computer game characters to Obama. A souvenir is given credibility when it’s shown to Mexican residents and them being genuinely impressed by the craftsmanship and the find.

For the eyes: Micro-crafted Dias los muertos figureine.
Found: Craft-market, Coyoacan, Mexico City
