This substantial little turtle is more a fine example of alebrije without having the slightly menacing look of many of them. the detail is amazing, and the expression on its face is wonderful - both knowing and olayful. The colors fit well with current decor while retaining a folk art feel.
This reminds me of my three dogs and how they used to
get all energetic and demand to go out in the yard as the night shone down on us. Precious, treasured memories.
