This Oaxacan wood carving is a fine sample of Mexican surrealism, color and magic. It is a fusion between a rabbit (ears, tail & hands) and an armadillo (body).  This fantastic creature 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 color palette is rich with purples, green and yellows over a predominant orange overall tone.

The beautiful painting and the excellent wood carving make this Oaxacan rabbit-armadillo fusion alebrije  collectible, unique and valuable.
