Snake Alebrije from Mexico

We very seldom see the image of a snake from the alebrije carvers, but what a wonderful piece of work from this carver at Taller Copalli in San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca!

Alebrijes are intricately carved wooden figures that spring from the rich artistic traditions of Oaxaca, Mexico. These whimsical sculptures depict a menagerie of real and mythical creatures brought to life through the vivid imagination and skilled hands of Oaxacan artisans. Alebrijes have become a beloved symbol of Oaxacan culture, embodying the spirit of Mexican creativity and craftsmanship.
