Bring home a piece of Mexico’s vibrant soul with our handcrafted Oaxacan alebrijes — whimsical, colorful wood carvings that merge fantasy and tradition into breathtaking works of art.
Carved by master artisans in the villages of San MartÃn Tilcajete and Arrazola, each alebrije begins its life in copal wood, meticulously shaped by hand and then painted in dazzling detail using natural pigments and centuries-old techniques passed down through generations.
These fantastical creatures — a fusion of animals, imagination, and dreams — are far more than decorative pieces. They are symbolic expressions of identity, mythology, and spirit, rooted deeply in Zapotec heritage and Mexican folklore.
