Dressed as a country woman of the early twentieth century, Catrina poses in a green meadow. Gorky Gonzalez creates this colorful decorative plate using traditional Majolica techniques. The word catrina is widely used in Mexico to mean ‘elegant and polished.’ Lithographer Jose Guadalupe Posadas created the skeletal Catrina, who was later immortalized in the murals of Diego Rivera.

Gonzalez signs his work ‘AT,’ for alfarera tradicional (traditional ceramics).
