Spring Home Day of the Dead

A gift for a friend - a great choice! Have bought many day of the dead coasters and all gifts have been extremely popular and unusual

After visiting Mexico and falling in love with the warmth of its people and the richness of its culture, I began searching for the perfect Catrina—one that truly honored the spirit and artistry of Día de los Muertos. I was looking for something of impressive quality and timeless beauty, and I found exactly that in this piece by Luis Morales. This sculpture is nothing short of magnificent. The craftsmanship is exquisite—formed by hand from clay and painted with meticulous care in vibrant shades of red, silver, gold, and blue. The figure has an undeniable presence; she's elegant, dignified, and deeply expressive. Every time I look at her, I’m reminded of the beauty of Mexican traditions and the artistry that keeps them alive. This sculpture proudly graces my mantel and continues to spark admiration from everyone who sees it.

This tray is really beautiful. I am very happy with it, but I would caution buyers that the finish is not smooth and glossy, as I thought it would be. It?s more of a porous, Terra cotta feel. I say this because, in spite of its description as suitable for food, microwave safe and dishwasher safe, I can?t imagine doing any of those things. I suspect my daughter will use it more for a catch all tray on her bureau. It?s truly lovely.
