Lyndhur Fantasy & Sci-Fi Figurines & Sculptures

Turned out in her Sunday finest including picture hat and parasol, this .catrina. from Luis Morales will add color and culture to any place she is displayed. Formed by hand from clay, her ostentatious ensemble is carefully painted in blue, lavender, strawberry and fuchsia hues. 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).
