Hand-carved from locally sourced copal wood in the artisan village of Arrazola,Oaxaca; this piece is a stunning example of traditional Zapotec craftsmanship. Every detail — from the expressive face to the finely painted patterns — is brought to life using natural pigments and steady hands guided by generations of artistic knowledge.
What makes this alebrije truly special is its ability to embody contrast: the bulldog’s grounded, muscular form is enlivened by kaleidoscopic colors and symbolic designs representing protection, strength, and loyalty. It's not just a carving — it's a statement, a guardian, and a collectible rooted in cultural depth.
No molds, no mass production — each carving is one-of-a-kind, signed by the artist, and created with months of dedicated, hands-on work.
