"Day of the Dead"

I just started collecting Day of the Dead figures. They are small clay figures called Muñecas.
 I don't know alot about them except that I like them. 



The Blue Devil is from "Incipient Wings Studio"

I love him!

These are made by the Mexican Folk Artist "Josefina Aguilar"




I do not know who the artist is of the smaller ones.
I wanted to show this one with the head in the basket.
Not sure what it means? Maybe we all morn in our own way?

This does have some initials on it. My husband wanted this one.
We did not realize he had been
broken and repaired. My husband was a little angry about that.
He is not the same scale as my other ones but I let him buy it anyways.

I know this is not Day of the Dead but I wanted to show him off. This was given to us by my husbands aunt.
It is signed but I had a hard time reading it.
I think the artisit is also well know. I will have to look into it.
I hope you enjoyed my Day of the Dead post.
