Jaguar Alebrije | Oaxacan Wood Carving | Magia Mexica
Description
Oaxacan wood-carving art is a fusion of alebrijes and Zapotec culture.
Local artisans from Oaxaca, in Mexico, combined their Zapotec roots with the fantastical alebrijes first imagined by Pedro Linares, giving life to what we now call Oaxacan alebrijes — hand-carved animal figures rich in symbolism, color, and spiritual meaning..
