Dressed for the charreada, or Mexican rodeo, this elegant catrina is dazzling. Mexican artisan Luis Morales crafts the statuette by hand from clay and paints her magnificent red and gold costume in stunning detail. Women have traditionally had a role in the event by demonstrating their horsemanship with choreographed, synchronized maneuvers. The elegant figure is inspired by 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).

"Very fashionable for a Catrina ??"
If you like Catrina s, you ll love this one. I m a collector of different types of Catrina s. I wasn t sure if I would like it as much as the others, the style is quite different BUT I love it. She s nicely made and came in great shape. I like this Artist so I bought 2 others!

"Unbelievable quality every step of the way!"
My sister wanted a Day of Dead Lady, so I had different quality to choose from. Well, La Catrina Espinoza arrived today and I am stilled stunned at the quality of packing! It was amazingly solid. And the figure herself? She is nothing short of magnificent from top to bottom. I give this company and the artisans a million stars. This company is the real deal! Thank you! My sister has no idea she is getting an absolute work of art

"A beautiful Catrina."
This is a very nice Catrina. What impressed me the most is that given my past experience with this type of ceramics, I was hesitant to order it just because I was afraid it may not make it on the shipping. Well, I had to use my old dissection skills to unwrap it. The packaging was superbly done. Now to the piece, it is as beautiful as it shows in the picture. It is elegant and genuinely coqueta.

"remembering those that came before"
I had such a hard time deciding on which 1 of these to pick from!! I picked Francesca because she is holding a platter to feed her family . The detail is amazing and the painting is so exact. I will probably need to order another 1 from this artist because I was so impressed with the talent it was made with.
