This unique monkey figurine is a great example of the Oaxacan folk art known as alebrijes. Esteban Hernandez in Mexico carves the small sculpture from copal wood and paints it by hand in colourful detail.

This was a gift for a friend of mine who read the book Old Turtle during Childrens Time at church. I loved the book! The expression on this turtle made me smile... It was a perfect choice. I have several old Oaxacan Alebrije turtles that have special meaning to me -- so I bought her a new turtle. Buy now (only one left) as these treasures sell out quickly.
