Description: A clay sculpture of a mermaid with a blue tail, seated and beckoning an unlucky sailor. She is one of three clay mermaids available in our store. They look great together! This piece was sculpted by artisans in Oaxaca, Mexico in celebration of Day of the Dead, and make lovely additions to your home decor or ofrenda. Feel free to contact us regarding any questions or concerns! These beautifully sculpted figures show us that, no matter your way of life,we will all die someday. Dia de los Muertos is a way to honor those who have gone before us and are now missed. Setting up an altar, or ofrenda,with photos of them and their favorite foods is a way of inviting a visit from our loved ones who have passed on. Dia de los Muertos is celebrated over two days----Nov.1 and 2---and is a time to mourn the loss of family members and friends and to ensure they’re never forgotten. The holiday originated with the ancient Aztecs who believed that death was not the end but rather the beginning of a different journey. No matter what your belief system is, Dia de los Muertos is an opportunity to remember and celebrate those we love who have gone before us. Inventory from a beloved neighborhood shop whose owner retired in 2002 after 23 wonderful years. These carefully stored treasures are now ready to be shared and enjoyed. L= 2.5 inchesH= 2 inches
