ABOUT THIS DAY OF THE DEAD PIECE

This day of the dead skeleton is so well achieved that it seems to be made of clay or ceramic but believe it or not, it is made of paper maché.

Its creation is the merge of tree of the most important cultural elements in Mexican tradition: The catrina, the Oaxacan tradition of black clay as well as the vast indigenous Oaxaca indigenous culture. 

Catrinas were created by hte cartoonist José Guadalupe Posadas to symbolize the futility of social differences by depicting a skeleton dressed as a rich lady.  Posada´s work was inspired in Mexican celebration of the day of the dead.

The piece is mounted on a 4x4" wood base.To protect your investment, this piece will be very carefully packed, insured and shipped trough UPS expedited shipping from Mexico.
