love sculpture

Hovering on whirring wings, a whimsical hummingbird seeks out the sweet nectar of flowers. Zeny and Reyna transform found pieces of copal wood into a delightful alebrije. These fanciful sculptures are a traditional folk art in Oaxaca, once based on twenty totems but today representing all kinds of animals. They take their name from a Calo gypsy word for "something difficult, tangled, confusing or fantastic."

Because each alebrije is individually created work of folk art, shapes will vary slightly. Small parts are separated for shipping to protect from breakage.

The underworld dresses itself with a romantic and passionate aura, the same that surrounds this ceramic sculpture by master artisan Jorge Escamilla.

With one figure wearing a classic suit and the other a traditional dress, the hand-painted pieces are joined on a heart-shaped base.
