The glass-fronted tomb of a child in Sucre, Bolivia, filled with toys and other poignant mementos of his young life.

---

Sucre, the official capital of Bolivia, has one of the country's oldest cemeteries. The rich are buried in family mausoleums but ordinary people only get a space in the walls of tombs that line the cemetery. When they can afford it, they front these with a glass pane and decorate them with mementos of the deceased. As is this case with this young man or child who died in February 2007, these can be very poignant.
