These beautiful sirenas—or mermaids—hold in their arms babies that are a beautiful mini version of themselves. They are raven haired, pale with rosy complexion, and have the same wide eyed expression of surprise, as if exclaiming, “oh!” The mama’s tails are iridescent multi colored while baby’s are pale, a sign that they are still growing.

In Mexican folk lore, La Sirena is something like a sea goddess, a sort of mermaid bringing both life and death. In a fusion of Mexican folk-lore and Christian thought, the feminine and the serpent are one, bringing the flood that wipes out humanity. In Mexican folk-lore, La Sirena is the goddess of rivers, seas, and storms, and the patroness of childbirth. La Sirena represents beauty, femininity, and music.
