Oaxacan Carved Lizard

Oaxacan Carved Lizard

Item #: 101086
Hand-carved alebrijes - fantastical folk art carvings - have placed the city of Oaxaca, Mexico in the spotlight. For nearly 50 years, artists have individually hand-carved and painstakingly painted these vivid creatures and characters from the wood of the copal tree. Every alebreje is an original work of art, as shown by this intricately detailed frilled lizard by Jesus Hernandes Torres.
