This delicately crafted, one-of-a-kind clay catrin figurine was made with a metal wire for the cane, then intricately decorated in bright acrylic colors. Hand made by artist Jose Mendez in his southern Mexico home, it is an excellent example of traditional Mexican folk art. Mendez' artwork is inspired by Mexico's annual Day of the Dead celebrations, which take place October 31 - November 2 in homes and villages throughout Mexico.
