Exceptional dragon alebrije wood carving by the Ramirez family. This very detailed piece was carved out of copal wood which was sourced in the fields surrounding the town of San Martin Tilcajete and is considered the ideal wood for alebrijes. The many small and complex details that went into this piece make it one of our premier collection pieces. An excellent work of Mexican folk art!
