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.
So many thanks Edith for this pendant. I turned it into an ornament for my tree. I hang it where I can admire it. When I bought this, it was the last one available. So glad to see that more can purchase this treasure.
Thank you, Mauricio. My friend loves her little bird of happiness. I couldn't resist buying it for her... She is such a lover of birds. I have purchased many of Mauricio's birds -- some for gifts and several for myself. Each one a true work of art.
