This Mexican folk art Wunderkammer/music box is populated by tiny objects—tooth, dice, a compass, a soldier shooting against the background of an anatomical heart, a piece of coral, a priest whose likeness has been altered by horns, and other small clues. Together, they spell out a poem of meaning for the maker and an opportunity for contemplation and meaning making for the viewer. There is room for the purchaser to add their own wonders. A music box on top of the structure plays "Over the Rainbow.' "An identification card on the back reads “Mi Madre” for the title.
