| 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" www.marfibradford.blogspot.com 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. |
Thanks - we have a lot of these cropping up all over town. Glad to know what they are.
