Handmade La Catrina Skeleton Doll in a Pink and Black Dress
$22.00
A charming handmade La Catrina doll made of a plastic skeletal figurine wearing a pink and black lace dress, with stiff fabric hat. Face hand-painted with unibrow and red lips.
La Catrina, an icon of Mexican culture, was created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in a legendary etching circa 1910. It was intended as a satirical portrait of those Mexican natives who, Posada felt, were aspiring to adopt European aristocratic traditions in the pre-revolutionary era.
