Artisan Luis Morales of Mexico crafts a breathtaking ceramic Catrina to grace your mantel or shelf. Formed by hand from clay, her ensemble is carefully painted in purple, pink and fuchsia with golden accents. She carries a handbag and flaunts a magnificent hat. The elegant figure is based on a satirical etching created by Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada around 1910-1913. With his etching, Posada poked fun at those Mexican natives who tried to emulate the fashion and habits of the European aristocracy. Today, la Catrina has become the instantly recognizable icon of Día de los Muertos (Mexico's Day of the Dead).

This is a very nice Mexican day of the dead ceramic catrina. The attention is amazing and this sculpture is very life like. This is a perfect homage to the Mexican day of the dead celebration.

After visiting Mexico and falling in love with the warmth of its people and the richness of its culture, I began searching for the perfect Catrina—one that truly honored the spirit and artistry of Día de los Muertos. I was looking for something of impressive quality and timeless beauty, and I found exactly that in this piece by Luis Morales. This sculpture is nothing short of magnificent. The craftsmanship is exquisite—formed by hand from clay and painted with meticulous care in vibrant shades of red, silver, gold, and blue. The figure has an undeniable presence; shes elegant, dignified, and deeply expressive. Every time I look at her, I m reminded of the beauty of Mexican traditions and the artistry that keeps them alive. This sculpture proudly graces my mantel and continues to spark admiration from everyone who sees it.
