Very fine wood carving by the Melchor Family inspired by the Pepita character from the movie Coco. Expertly carved out of copal wood which is sustainably sourced in the fields surrounding the town of San Martin Tilcajete and is the wood of choice for artists in the region. This fabulous piece incorporates parts from various animals which is a feature of traditional alebrijes. Alebrijes are fantastical creations made from the imagination of the artist and brought to life. This piece incorporates the body and face of a jaguar, the horns of a ram and the wings of an eagle. An excellent work of Mexican folk art.
