La Catrina Candelaria Handcrafted Ceramic Catrina Statuette

Luis Morales

(8)

Artisan Luis Morales of Mexico crafts a remarkable ceramic Catrina to grace your mantel or shelf. Formed by hand from clay, her ensemble refers to that of the main character in the 1944 film, Maria Candelaria. Her gown is carefully painted in purple with lilac flowers and lacy gold trim. Her hair is braided and she holds a basket filled with fruits and vegetables.

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 Mexico's Day of the Dead.

Rustic Catrina I Handcrafted Scrap Metal Catrina Statuette

Armando Ramirez

(662)

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.

She is beautifully painted and even more impressive than I expected, as the listing says she is 6 inches tall but she is actually about 10 inches.
