Bold Coyote Oaxacan Wood Alebrije Statuette

Eugenia and Roberto Sosa

(16)

In the 1930s in Oaxaca, Mexico, an artist named Pedro Linares fell ill. In his fevered dreams, he saw fantastical creatures--a lion with the head of a bird; a rooster with bull's horns. The colorful animals all rushed toward him shouting the nonsense word, "alebrije! alebrije!". Upon awakening, he felt compelled to recreate his vision, and the art form of alebrijes was born. Eugenia and Roberto Sosa uphold the artistic tradition with this excellent coyote sculpture. Carved from copal wood, the statuette is painted by hand in brilliant detail.

Recycled papier mache alebrije, 'Frog of Abundance'

Every one loves my 2020 Frog! So creative

Thank you, Marina. This little frog is absolutely ADORABLE! A must have treasure. This was the perfect Christmas present for me -- from my cats (they buy such wonderful things for me). Right now, my frog is standing proudly on the mantle -- but will eventually hang from the ceiling in my office so I can see him more. I assure you, you will not be disappointed if you buy this for yourself -- or for a friend who just needs to smile.

Wonderful WONDERFUL!

I love the way the purchases are so carefully packed--the ears and the stalks packaged separately to avoid breaking. This little guy is a real gem and fits perfectly into an illustration of a story I wrote.

Fish out of water!

This smiling fish is absolutely adorable. It is small, so keep that in mind. i just love looking at her (of course she's a female!) She has a companion, the Grey Fish (a man-fish), also from Novica. My husband is a Pisces, too, so it fits into my whimsical design. Beautiful!
