Medium Catrina Ceramic No.45

This Catrina ceramic is a vibrant embodiment of Día de los Muertos, meticulously handcrafted with intricate detail and bursting with colour. She dons a richly patterned dress adorned with colourful stripes and zigzags, and her delicate skeletal fingers gracefully hold a handbag. The finely sculpted skull and ornate jewellery reflect the artisan's dedication and skill, making her a captivating focal point and a festive addition to 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 utmost 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.
