This alebrije elephant has news to share. Eugenia and Roberto Sosa handcraft this trumpeting elephant from copal wood with vibrant colours and a variety of detailed motifs. They capture the energy of his big announcement with trunk raised to the sky and ears and tail held aloft. Alebrijes, a Mexican folk art popularized in Oaxaca, are detailed, colourful, and fantastical wood carvings.
The natural shape of the branch dictates the alebrije's finished form. Thus no two are ever identical, and each one is a unique example of Mexican folk art.
The tail is removed for shipping.

My Jesus and Roxana Hernandez six coyotes are my very favorite...and have give the Howling Coyote as three gifts. While its colors are dynamic, Vibrant Coyote is half the size of the others and just does not stand out as well.
