Bull Alebrije Wood Carving from Oaxaca Mexico
ABOUT THIS ALEBRIJE
This Oaxacan wood carving is a fine sample of Mexican creativity and talent. It is a bull beautifully painted with a colorful palette. It was crafted from a single block of copal wood in San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca. Zapotec indigenous people did this outstanding wooden alebrije.
The turtle is beautifully decorated with traditional patterns known as grecas. The grecas are so meticulously painted, that an agave cactus thorn was used instead of a brush for the thiner strokes.
The beautiful painting and the excellent wood carving make this turtle alebrije collectible, unique and valuable.
Coco, the movie; did a thorough research and a beautiful representation of the Mexican tradition of Alebrijes. in the movie, Alebrijes are part of a tale in which Miguel crosses to the world of the dead with the help of a Dante, a Xoloiscuintli dog.
