About this product

Embrace the spirit of Día de los Muertos with this captivating Catrina ceramic, a testament to the artistry and cultural heritage of Mexico. She wears a vibrant dress adorned with hand-painted flowers and patterns, and her delicate skeletal fingers are finely sculpted. The detailed skull and ornate jewellery reflect the artisan's skill, making her a striking focal point and a festive touch for Halloween décor.

This piece is lovingly hand-decorated, inspired by the iconic Calavera Catrina imagery which was first made popular by the artist Jose Posada, and then used in Diego Rivera’s vast murals. The figurine captures the whimsical elegance of skeletal figures, reflecting both the joy and reverence of Día de los Muertos. The vibrant colours and detailed accessories celebrate Mexican folk art and the cultural tradition of honouring and remembering loved ones. This is a very rare opportunity to buy a truly exceptional item of Mexican folk art.

Handmade with care in a small family workshop on the outskirts of Texcoco, Mexico, this one-of-a-kind Catrina ceramic supports local artisans and their communities. Siesta Crafts’ commitment to Fair Trade ensures that this unique piece is produced ethically, with respect for both the environment and the people involved. Each Catrina is entirely individual, making it a rare and treasured addition to any collection.

Meet the Maker: Artesanías Díaz

Based in Texcoco, Mexico

Artesanías Díaz is a family-run workshop led by two brothers Arturo and Gilberto, where they create stunning Calavera Catrinas alongside both traditional and more contemporary ceramic pieces. Visiting them at their home was a real privilege – we shared food, a little tequila, and came away with the beginnings of a great collection of crucifixes, incense holders and Aztec masks and plaques.
