I love this colorful bear alebrije. Beautiful detail and craftsmanship. So glad I added him to my collection of treasures from Novica. This is a perfect gift for anyone who loves bears.

This armadillo has beautiful and vibrant colors, and is meticulously crafted. The wood is light but sturdy, and having a handcrafted wooden figurine makes it so much more special compared to something plastic or even metal. Currently this armadillo has found a home in my fiancƩs office and she has said how much it brightens up the space and brings smiles to peoples faces. I Highly recommend this item. l Would purchase other varieties of this armadillo if they were ever crested by the artist.

Just as I received the teachings, now I share them with my children in the workshop. Our dream is to expand our artisan workshop and showcase our art to the world.
