Hand-carved from copal wood and fashioned into the shape of a mighty bull, this exceptional alebrije figurine by Alejandro and Rocio Jimenez is a striking manifestation of traditional Mexican folk art. The figurine's vibrant hues and stunning design weave a sense of magic while the exquisite hand-painted motifs are a testament to the artisans' impeccable eye for detail and their dedication to their craft.

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 fiancés 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.
