Mexican Alebrije Dragon Sculpture, "Green Dragon"

With wings outspread, a fierce dragon breaths fire. Claudio and Teresita transform found pieces of copal wood into a delightful alebrije. These fanciful sculptures are a traditional folk art in Oaxaca, once based on twenty totems but today representing all kinds of animals. They take their name from a Caló gypsy word for "something difficult, tangled, confusing or fantastic."

Because each alebrije is individually created work of folk art, shapes will vary slightly.
