Day of the Dead Ceramic Catrina

Elegant Catrina with a wide-brimmed hat and parasol. Angel Cerón conjures her flamboyant appearance inspired by the original work of José Guadalupe Posadas. A renowned author, journalist and political cartoonist (1852-1913), he created Catrina, (meaning "dapper") and her mate, Catrin, as caricature symbols of Mexico's politicians, implying that after all, they too die. Since then, Catrina has become an essential element of Day of the Dead celebrations but without the political underpinnings. She represents Mexico's comedic attitude towards death.
