Catrina shouldn't belong to the "sculpture" category. It was born as drawing, painting or cartoon and is a big part of Mexican tradition. Very seldom shown in sculpture. Esp. very rarely bigger than 20cm or in other material than papier maché. Ozkar 02:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)


I have heard that Catrina has sort of 'taken over' so to speak from Mictecacihuatl, the Aztec Lady of Death, in modern Mexican culture. I'm not sure where I found it out, but should it be checked and mentioned?
