Peasant woman

This caganer represents a proud and energetic peasant woman who, halfway home, has decided to stop for a moment to fertilize the soil. The peasants, dressed in white shirts, sashes, barretinas (traditional Catalan caps), and espadrilles, represent the most typical caganer in Catalan tradition, a millennia-old practice that continues to be a pillar of the global economy. Working the land requires stamina and strength, and peasant women possess both.
