Limited edition Mexican Bella Catrina figurine in black gloss finish porcelain, adorned with three handmade flowers. Buy it now at Lladró Sydney, Australia.
The imagery of a lady with face paint of a skull (calaveras), a tradition for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Mexico, is given light through Frida Kahlo's work. The people of Mexico have a special relationship with death, to the point that it is part of the culture and daily life of this North American country. The Bella Catrina, conceived in the imagination of the artist Jose Guadalupe Posada, has become part of this rich, popular iconography.
This limited edition is richly decorated with colourful motifs characteristic of Mexican tradition and three spectacular flowers carefully modelled, petal by petal. In addition, there is a brass earring with two micron 18K gold plating and decorated with porcelain. The antique golden base is inseparably attached to the piece.
