Description
Oaxacan wood-carving art is a unique fusion of alebrijes and ancient Zapotec culture.
Artisans from Oaxaca blended their Zapotec roots with the fantastical alebrijes first imagined by Pedro Linares, creating what we now know as Oaxacan alebrijes.

In Zapotec culture, animals played a central role in ritual calendars and spiritual beliefs. Many deities were associated with specific animals, seen as guardians and guides — a legacy that lives on in every Oaxacan alebrije wood carving.
At Magia Mexica, all Oaxacan alebrije wood carvings for sale are authentic and genuine, hand-carved and hand-painted in Oaxaca, Mexico, and signed on the bottom by the artisan.
These Mexican folk-art / Oaxacan art pieces are truly one-of-a-kind and only made once in a lifetime. Don’t hesitate to make this purchase for your collection.
