Description: Vintage Fruit Vendor is carrying her wares on her head while dressed in her floral skirt and blouse. Her colorful fruit assortment includes pineapple, sugar cane, bananas and perhaps strawberries. The detailing is lovely and she looks ready to take the market by storm. There are no signs of wear, chips or cracks on the figure. There is an unpainted end to one banana that was original to the piece---appears to be intentional. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns! These beautifully sculpted figures showus that, no matter your way of life, we will all die someday. Dia de losMuertos is a way to honor those who have gone before us and are now missed. Settingup an altar, or ofrenda, with photos of them and their favorite foods is a wayof inviting a visit from our loved ones who have passed on. Dia de losMuertos is celebrated over two days----Nov.1 and 2---and is a time to mourn theloss of family members and friends and to ensure they’re never forgotten. The holiday originated with the ancient Aztecs who believed that death was notthe end but rather the beginning of a different journey.
