Este delicioso papel maché alebrije la escultura está hecha por Marina Lozano en Mexico. La artesana crea su versión de un quetzalcóatl, que era una deidad serpiente emplumada en la antigua Mesoamérica. La criatura está pintada a mano con colores vivos y estampados variados.

La tradición del arte popular de los alebrijes se remonta a la década de 1930 en la Ciudad de México. Un hombre llamado Pedro Linares enfermó y en sus sueños febriles vio una tierra extraña poblada de criaturas curiosas: un burro con alas, un gallo con cuernos de toro y un león con cabeza de perro. Todas las fieras gritaban "¡alebrije! ¡alebrije!". Al recuperarse, Linares comenzó a recrear las criaturas fantásticas que había visto en su sueño. Esta forma de arte ganó popularidad y los alebrijes ahora están hechos de madera y papel maché.

Colorful Beauty!”

This alebrije is amazing. I bought it to add to may collection of Marina Lozanos beautiful work. I tell my 7 year old grand daughter that these will be hers someday...and that they are not toys but works of art.

Pictures dont do it justice”

I was on the fence about this one but ultimately decided that the idea of a seahorse with butterfly wings with too amusing to pass up. Now that I have it it is a lot prettier than I realized from the pictures
