Wood carving, an ancestral Zapotec tradition, comes to its fullest expression through the Alebrijes. These are unreal and magic pieces born out of the imagination of the Oaxaqueño craftsmen.

Alebrijes represent an innovative and unreal spirit of the Oaxaqueño soul through the hand carving and painting of fantastically shaped figures using material like Cedar, Aguacatillo and Palo Torcido. These are made by Mixes tribes and craftsmen from San Martin Tilcajete. The perfect finish makes them unique and are considered as pieces of art.

Size: 13.7 inches long and 9.8 inches wide. Weight: 0.77 lbs.

Note: Each piece is unique. Size, shape and sometimes color will be slightly different.
