Meet the enchanting colorful dragon alebrije figurine, a stunning piece crafted by husband and wife artisans Zeny and Reyna from Oaxaca. This vibrant dragon, expertly carved from copal wood, showcases an acrobatic pose bursting with psychedelic colors that capture the essence of traditional Oaxacan art.
The creation of alebrijes has a fascinating legacy that traces back to the visionary artisan Pedro Linares. In a dream that blended the realms of the living and the dead, Linares encountered fantastical creatures with mixed animal features, which inspired the art form we celebrate today. Each alebrije is a unique reflection of this rich cultural heritage.
Measuring 3.9 inches in height, 5.5 inches in width, and 3.7 inches in depth, this handcrafted alebrije is not just a decorative item; it’s a piece of art that tells a story. Small parts are separated for careful shipping to minimize the risk of breakage, ensuring your colorful dragon arrives safely. Each piece is signed by the artist, making it a perfect addition to your collection or a unique gift for someone special.
