La Niguenta and other cultural figures of Costa Rica

In Costa Rica, our elders used to have dolls like the Niguenta (naked girl taking something out of her foot). They place it close to the entrance of a house for good luck. In the picture you can see a representation of the doll La Niguenta (you can find the doll of a white girl and a black girl), and a representation of La Virgen de los Angeles also called La Negrita.

Many Costarricans use to have religious figures in their homes and bussiness. Some of these religious representations are the Virgen, La Niguenta, San miguel Arcangel, a Rosario and a representation of the Sagrado Corazon de Jesus, among others.
