Day of the Dead Catrina Ceramic Figurine - Catrina the Temptress Primary or Jewel Colors symbol of wisdom and keeperCatrina tempts with a plate of forbidden fruits as she poses in a revealing blue dress with flowers by her feet. As always, she wears a wide brimmed hat. Artisans from the Angel Cern Artisan Association are inspired by the celebrated cartoon developed by Jos Guadalupe Posadas to poke fun at Mexico's high society during the early 1900's. Revealing Catrina's skeletal figure, the Oaxacan clay sculpture is painted by hand. Catrina's head can be removed.
