Black Calavera Catrina Ceramic - 25cm

This elegant black Catrina ceramic figure is full of gothic glamour and Mexican folk art sophistication. Her sweeping dark gown, feathered hat, and gold-toned skeletal detailing create a figure that is both haunting and beautiful, and a piece that works as a year-round display as much as a seasonal Día de los Muertos centrepiece.

Born from the satirical pen of José Guadalupe Posada and later elevated by muralist Diego Rivera, the Catrina has become one of Mexico's most beloved and recognisable cultural icons — a figure that transforms the concept of death into something joyful, elegant, and deeply human.
