Los artesanos mexicanos Jesús y Roxana Hernández crean esta maravillosa escultura en la tradición del arte popular oaxaqueño de alebrijes. La figura está tallada a mano en madera de copal con la forma de un zorro, y luego cuidadosamente pintada a mano con una vertiginosa variedad de motivos en turquesa, púrpura y óxido. Las piezas pequeñas pueden separarse para un envío seguro.

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 bestias corrieron hacia él, gritando la palabra sin sentido, "¡alebrije! ¡alebrije!". Tras su recuperación, Linares comenzó a recrear las criaturas fantásticas que había visto en su sueño en papel maché. La forma de arte ganó popularidad y los alebrijes ahora están hechos de madera y papel maché.
