Since 1910, the Catrina name refers a well dressed woman. She is "The Bony One," "The Skinny One," and death personified. Inspired by the caricatures of lithographer Jose Guadalupe Posada, Catrina is an important personage in Mexico's November 2 Day of the Dead celebrations. She takes centre stage in this colourful gift box. Catrina and her husband, El Catrin appear on a set of four decoupage coasters along with a white sugar skull.
