Al caminar, un gatito nocturno trae la magnificencia del arte popular mexicano a tu hogar. Zeny and Reyna tallar esto a mano alebrije Figura de madera de copal, gato negro pintado a mano con motivos intrincados de colores vibrantes. Las piezas pequeñas se envían por separado para protegerlas de roturas.
Los alebrijes son una forma de arte mexicano bastante reciente, atribuida a Pedro Linares. Inconsciente debido a una enfermedad en 1936, se le presumía cercano a la muerte y sin embargo sus sueños eran extremadamente vívidos. Cuenta de un lugar donde todo era paz y tranquilidad hasta que de repente aparecieron un león con cabeza de águila, un gallo con cuernos de toro y un burro con alas de mariposa. No dejaban de gritar "¡alebrije, alebrije!" y Pedro comenzó a correr. Se encontró con un hombre que le dijo que aún no era su hora de estar allí y que debía seguir corriendo hacia la salida. En este sueño, Pedro salió por una ventana y recuperó la conciencia.

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!

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.
