Catrina figurines hold significant cultural importance in Mexico, especially during the celebration of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). These figurines often depict elegantly dressed skeleton women, symbolizing the blending of life and death. They serve as a reminder that death is a natural part of the human experience and should be embraced rather than feared. During Dia de los Muertos, families create altars and ofrendas (offerings) adorned with Catrina figurines, sugar skulls, and marigold flowers to honor and remember deceased loved ones.

The Catrina figurine has a fascinating history dating back to the early 20th century. It was popularized by Mexican artist Jose Guadalupe Posada, who created an etching known as "La Calavera Catrina" as a satirical commentary on the Mexican upper class's imitation of European fashion and culture. Over time, the Catrina evolved into a symbol of Mexican identity and pride. Today, Catrina figurines come in various styles, from traditional to contemporary, reflecting the dynamic nature of Mexican art and culture. They continue to be a symbol of Mexican heritage and are collected by art enthusiasts worldwide.
