Description
This brightly colored hen is the work of artisans Jesus and Roxana Hernandez in Mexico, who preserve the distinctly Oaxacan folk art form of <i>alebrijes</i>. The sculpture is carved by hand from copal wood before being carefully painted with a dizzying array of colorful motifs.<br><br>The folk art tradition of alebrijes dates back to the 1930's in Mexico City. A man named Pedro Linares was taken ill, and in his fevered dreams he saw a strange land populated with curious creatures--a donkey with wings, a rooster with bull's horns, and a lion with the head of a dog. The beasts all ran at him, shouting the nonsense word,"alebrije! alebrije!". Upon his recovery, Linares began recreating the fantastical creatures he had seen in his dream in papier mache. The art form gained popularity, and alebrijes are now made of wood as well as papier mache.

Hello, Tierra del Sol received Novica order and one of the the Alebrije crickets, style# 313771 only came with 3 legs, not four. Can I please Get 1 more small, back leg. It looks like a fancy tooth pick. Thank you, Heidi Phillips

I really love everything that I ordered, but sent almost all of it back. The prices on their website are just above wholesale and there is no way to mark items up high enough to make any kind of profit. I may order again if their website prices are more in line.
