Petateo

Petateo

Petateo

In Mexico there are several ways to tell someone died.
-Ya estiro la pata
-Paso a mejor vida

One of them is "Se petateo"

The explanation by the people who put together this altar, is that death people where sometimes buried in "Petates", The "Petate" is the rug thing made of plant fabric.

The Petate is also used as a base to sleep.
