Los artesanos mexicanos Zeny y Reyna crean este excelente alebrijes escultura, demostrando su experiencia en el arte popular oaxaqueño. La caprichosa escultura está tallada en madera de copal y pintada con lujosos detalles en un arco iris de colores.

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.

I love this Hummingbird”

I love this wooden hummingbird, I hung it from my Ceiling Fan/light. In the pic attached, it rotates when I have the fan turned out. I am extremely happy with my purchase. Thank you!

Love my new Zeny and Reyna hummingbird!”

This will be a Christmas gift for me -- a gift from my cat (my cats have always known exactly what I want). Zenys and Reynas pieces are incredible - Exquisite painted details. I have purchased many for myself and many to give as gifts.
