Black Calavera Catrina Ceramic - 32cm

This magnificent black Catrina ceramic figure is full of dark glamour and extraordinary artisanal detail. At 32cm, every element of her form is given full expression — the sweeping silhouette of her gown, the elaborate feathered brim of her hat, and the intricate gold-toned detailing of her skeletal face and jewellery all combine into a piece of real presence and beauty. A show-stopping addition to any collection or display.

Conceived by illustrator José Guadalupe Posada as a social satire and transformed by Diego Rivera into an icon of Mexican culture, the Catrina has transcended her origins to become the defining symbol of Día de los Muertos worldwide — a figure that celebrates life, honours the departed, and does so with extraordinary style.
