Mexican La Catrina Ceramic Figurine – Movable Head
This handcrafted Mexican La Catrina ceramic figurine is a striking representation of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) traditions. The skeletal figure is adorned in a vibrant green dress with black, yellow, and orange accents, featuring intricate detailing and a flared skirt. The movable head adds a unique touch, allowing for slight positioning adjustments.
Crafted from hand-painted terracotta with a glossy glaze, this piece is reminiscent of Mexican folk art styles from regions like Metepec or Oaxaca, where skilled artisans create detailed Day of the Dead sculptures. Inspired by the famous La Catrina imagery, which originated from José Guadalupe Posada's early 20th-century etching "La Calavera Garbancera", this figurine embodies the satirical and celebratory nature of death in Mexican culture. Later popularized by Diego Rivera, La Catrina has become a universal symbol of Mexican heritage and remembrance.
This figurine is ideal for collectors, cultural enthusiasts, or as a decorative statement piece for Día de los Muertos celebrations and beyond.
