Bold Coyote Oaxacan Wood Alebrije Statuette

Eugenia and Roberto Sosa

(16)

In the 1930s in Oaxaca, Mexico, an artist named Pedro Linares fell ill. In his fevered dreams, he saw fantastical creatures--a lion with the head of a bird; a rooster with bull's horns. The colourful animals all rushed toward him shouting the nonsense word, "alebrije! alebrije!". Upon awakening, he felt compelled to recreate his vision, and the art form of alebrijes was born. Eugenia and Roberto Sosa uphold the artistic tradition with this excellent coyote sculpture. Carved from copal wood, the statuette is painted by hand in brilliant detail.

Standing Jaguar Artisan Crafted Oaxacan Alebrije

Esteban Hernández

(32)

Carved by hand from copal wood, this magnificent jaguar alebrije sculpture is carefully hand-painted in meticulous detail. The statuette from Esteban Hernandez in Mexico is an excellent example of the Oaxacan folk art.

The folk art tradition of alebrijes dates back to the 1930s in Mexico City. A man named Pedro Linares was taken ill, and in his fevered dreams he saw a strange land populated with curious creatures--a donkey with wings, a rooster with bull's horns, and a lion with the head of a dog. The beasts all ran at him, shouting the nonsense word, "alebrije! alebrije!". Upon his recovery, Linares began recreating the fantastical creatures he had seen in his dream in papier mache. The art form gained popularity, and alebrijes are now made of wood as well as papier mache.

Oaxaca Dragon Dragon Inspired Copal Wood Alebrije from Oaxaca Mexico

Esteban Hernández

This copal wood carved alebrije from the Central Valleys of Oaxaca depicts a blue and orange dragon, from European lore, with the colours of a nahual, an indigenous fantastic creature. It is the creation of artist Esteban Hernandez.

The wings and fiery tongue are removed for shipping.
