Catrina del Recuerdo | Handmade Mexican Día de Muertos Heart Wall Decor
Handcrafted in Metepec, Estado de México, Mexico, our Catrina del Recuerdo is a richly detailed clay heart inspired by Día de Muertos, remembrance, and the beauty of Mexican folk art.
At the center, a hand-painted Catrina wears a wide-brimmed hat adorned with flowers, surrounded by tiny painted hearts and a warm golden background. Around the heart, individually hand-formed cempasúchil-inspired flowers, colorful blooms, and textured leaves create a dimensional frame full of movement and color.
The combination of marigold orange, lavender, teal, pink, metallic leaf tones, and warm earth colors gives the piece a joyful yet nostalgic feel, making it beautiful for Día de Muertos displays while still feeling like collectible folk art beyond the season.
Each element is formed, painted, and assembled by hand, making every Catrina del Recuerdo slightly unique.
