Black Calavera Catrina Ceramic - 30cm

This dramatic black Catrina ceramic figure is full of poise, character, and striking hand-crafted detail. Standing at 30cm, she is genuinely impressive — her matte black gown and wide feathered hat offset by the warm gold tones of her skeletal features, jewellery, and fine surface detailing. A bold and beautiful piece, and a wonderful unique addition to Halloween festivities.

The Catrina's story begins with Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada, whose early 20th century calavera illustration was reimagined by Diego Rivera into the elegantly dressed figure we know today. She has since become an enduring emblem of Día de los Muertos — a reminder that death is not to be feared, but remembered with colour, beauty, and love.
