Showing a little leg and decolletage, this catrina from Luis Morales will add color and flair to any place she is displayed. Formed by hand from clay, her showy ensemble is carefully painted in purples and pinks. The elegant figure is based on a satirical etching created by Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada around 1910-1913. With his etching, Posada poked fun at those Mexican natives who tried to emulate the fashion and habits of the European aristocracy. Today, la Catrina has become the instantly recognizable icon of Día de los Muertos (Mexico's Day of the Dead).

Parading grandly with her picture hat, purse and parasol, Catrina steals the show. Armando Ramirez creates the iconic figurine from recycled auto parts and scrap metal.

The original "La Calavera Catrina" was a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject.

The celebrations held in honor of the Day of the Dead cannot be complete without this harmonious ensemble of female mariachis and their vibrant melodies. Directly from Mexico, Jorge Escamilla's set of six sculptures is the perfect addition to a traditional decor theme with a touch of feminine charm, as each piece—meticulously painted by hand—displays a sublime dress and little musical instruments boasting classic details.

Jorge Escamilla's work blends popular Mexican iconography with everyday themes. He credits his craft as the greatest source of personal growth in his life.
