The final piece is of two catrinas, The Ladies or Las Señoras, out for a little walk. I love these colorful figures and how they are designed and decorated to represent people in everyday activities or dressed up for fancy outings. The catrina figurines we have at home include this beautiful lady in a blue blouse with a red ribbon tied at the end of a thick braid of dark hair draped over her shoulder. For this piece, I added a comadre, adorned in purple. The braided catrina represents Domingo’s mother, a powerful force who guides the matriarchs in the family.
