Details

Bring home this colorful alebrije rendition of a xolo - short for xoloesquintle - Mexico's iconic hairless dog. Jesus and Roxana Hernandez hand-carve it from copal wood and decorate its body with joyful geometric patterns in a palette of flame orange, turquoise blue, lime green, and purple. The tail is removable for shipping.

The artisan couple comes from a Zapotec community in Oaxaca known for its alebrijes. Jesus takes care of the carving part while Roxana works her magic creating the colorful patterns that decorate their designs.

“Yet ANOTHER Great Sculpture”

Now have a dozen in house or gifts sculpted by Jesus and Roxanne. Easily my favorite alebreje artists. Have all the coyotes and monkeys so a domestic dog is a great change!

Using an array of vintage wine boxes, great display tool for all the alebrejes!
