Traditional Mexican Patterned Ceramic Day of the Dead Skull Sculpture
La Catrina was created by José Guadalupe Posada in the early 20th century as ‘La Calavera Garbancera’ (The Posh Skull), a critique of the upper class who despised their indigenous origins in order to imitate European fashions. The term ‘catrín’ referred to these well-dressed men, and the figure was popularised and renamed ‘La Catrina’ by muralist Diego Rivera in 1947. Today, she is an icon of the Day of the Dead, a symbol of the acceptance of death and Mexico's cultural richness, beyond social status.

For the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico, the streets of towns and cities are filled with color, and flowers and handicrafts abound. Atlixco, in the state of Puebla, is one of the towns where this tradition is most deeply rooted.
In Playa del Carmen, Mexico skeletons used to decorate and celebrate the Day of the Dead are hanging for sale at an outdoor market.

The image of La Catrina is becoming the quintessential Mexican image representing death and/or the deceased; and it is increasingly common to see her depicted as part of Day of the Dead celebrations throughout the country. She has even transcended the two-dimensional image and become a motif for the creation of handicrafts, whether made of clay or other materials, which, depending on the region, may vary slightly in their clothing and even their famous hat, but which have all been given the name ‘catrinas’. In the 21st century, La Catrina is a product of globalisation.
