De pie con las alas extendidas en una postura orgullosa, esta majestuosa escultura de garza seguramente será una excelente adición a la decoración de su hogar. Trabajando en la tradición del arte popular mexicano de alebrijes, los artesanos Pablo y Lucy Méndez crean la garza. Tallan esta impresionante escultura de madera de copal y la pintan a mano. Las piezas pequeñas se separan para el envío para protegerlas de roturas.

Los alebrijes son una forma de arte mexicana bastante reciente, atribuida a Pedro Linares. Inconsciente debido a una enfermedad en 1936, se suponía que estaba cerca de la muerte y, sin embargo, sus sueños eran extremadamente vívidos. Habla de un lugar donde todo estaba en paz y tranquilidad hasta que de repente apareció un león con cabeza de águila, un gallo con cuernos de toro y un burro con alas de mariposa. Seguían gritando "¡alebrije, alebrije!" y Pedro empezó 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 saltó por una ventana y recuperó el conocimiento.
