Displaying a bright purple hue with multicolored designs, an elaborate fish makes a mystical addition to your home decor with this figurine from Mexico. Pablo and Lucy Mendez, who carry on the tradition of alebrije folk art, work together to create the fish. They carve this figurine of copal wood and paint it by hand.

Alebrijes are a fairly recent Mexican art form, attributed to Pedro Linares. Unconscious due to illness in 1936, he was presumed near death and yet his dreams were extremely vivid. He tells of a place where all was peaceful and quiet until all of a sudden there appeared a lion with an eagle's head, a rooster with bull's horns and a donkey with butterfly wings. They kept screeching "alebrije, alebrije!" and Pedro began running away. He encountered a man who told him it was not yet his time to be there are and he should continue running towards the exit. In this dream Pedro climbed out of a window and regained consciousness.

The Adinkra symbol Gye Nyame, meaning "except for God," is realized in relief at the forehead of this African mask from Ghana. Theophilus Sackey designs the mask, carving it by hand of sese wood and painting it black and beige. Curving line motifs at the cheeks complete this piece of wall decor.

Meaning "except for God," the Adinkra symbol Gye Nyame is hand-carved of ebony wood with rich hues of light and dark brown. This statuette is designed and crafted by Ghanaian artisan Robert Lanyo. He displays the sculpture atop a triangular base.

Skillfully hand carved in relief, the graceful goddess on Sarono's statuette dances to her own melody. The Javanese artisan casts the statuette from a combination of cement and lava sand before adding a sturdy wooden base with iron rods for support.
