Fantastic one-piece Zapotec octopus alebrije wood carving by the Ramirez family workshop in Oaxaca, Mexico. This large piece was carved out of copal wood which is the wood of choice for most Oaxacan artists. The perfection in carving each and every tentacle and the difficulty in doing so make this piece exceptionally special and a great talking piece for any collection!
