Springing from a cautionary cartoon by Mexico's Jose Guadalupe Posada, about excessive festivities around Dia de los Muertos, La Calavera Catrina instead emerged as its most popular ambassadress, gaining widespread popularity as the patroness of the holiday. Now you can bring her legendary elegance home with the La Calavera Catrina Sculpture, a limited edition illuminated tribute available only from The Bradford Exchange. This Dia de los Muertos collectible is masterfully sculpted and dressed in her holiday finery of an elegant gown bedecked with rich embroidery and roses.This exceptional Day of the Dead tribute is handcrafted of the finest artist's resin and then hand-painted with breathtaking finesse. Both she and her feline companion bear the intricate sugar skull face paint that reminds all of their mortality. Her flowing locks are crowned in more roses and feathers, paying tribute to the Aztec goddess Mictecacihuatl, Queen of the Underworld, who shares many of La Catrina's attributes. In place of her original hat, La Catrina carries a parasol, also adorned with sculpted dangling skulls and a painted skull motif. For the breathtaking final touch, LED lights create a moonlit glow at the flick of a switch. This nearly-14-inch-high illuminated sculpture is expected to elicit strong demand, so don't wait.
