Embrace the enchanting allure of the owl with this stunning handmade owl alebrije figurine, a remarkable example of Oaxacan artistry from talented artisans Jesus and Roxana Hernandez. Carved from copal wood, this unique decorative owl figurine is adorned with vibrant, hand-painted designs that bring each detail to life.
The owl, often seen as a symbol of mystery, is crafted with intricate ear tufts that highlight its fantastical nature. Jesus and Roxana, dedicated to preserving their craft, are also imparting their skills to the next generation, ensuring that the art of alebrijes continues to thrive. They believe in passing down their techniques to their children and extended family, fostering a rich cultural heritage.
The alebrije tradition originated with Pedro Linares, a visionary artist who dreamt of vibrant creatures during a life-altering illness. His imagination inspired generations of artisans, particularly in Oaxaca, to create stunning figures that capture the essence of their dreams.
This handcrafted piece measures approximately 4.1 inches in height, 2.8 inches in width, and 2.4 inches in depth, making it a perfect addition to your home decor. Each figurine is signed by the artist, and due to the nature of handmade work, colors and motifs may vary slightly, ensuring that your piece is one-of-a-kind.
