Pareciendo cada pieza el producto de un sueño febril que alebrijes son, esta escultura de búho extravagantemente decorada está hecha a mano con madera de copal por artesanos mexicanos. Jesus and Roxana Hernandez. "Dominar el arte de los alebrijes requiere práctica, disciplina y mucho amor", dice Jesús. "Roxana es experta en decorar las esculturas y sus delicadas manos transmiten belleza, desde finos patrones geométricos hasta flores. Sus diseños son únicos y elegantemente detallados."

El alebrijes la tradición comenzó con el artesano de papel maché de la Ciudad de México, Pedro Linares (1906-1992). Cuando tenía 30 años, entró en coma debido a una enfermedad grave. Mientras estaba inconsciente, soñó que estaba atrapado entre la tierra de los vivos y la de los muertos; el lugar parecía un bosque y estaba poblado de criaturas con partes del cuerpo pertenecientes a diferentes animales. Los seres pronunciaron repetidamente la palabra alebrijes. Al recuperarse, Linares recreó estas figuras en vivos colores utilizando técnicas de papel maché y las llamó alebrijes. Su trabajo se hizo famoso y fue una de las principales influencias de los artesanos del estado de Oaxaca que comenzaron a elaborar alebrijes por su cuenta utilizando métodos tradicionales de tallado en madera.
