Blue Hummingbird Blue Hummingbird Alebrije Hanging Sculpture from Mexico

Zeny and Reyna

(334)

A playful hummingbird soars skyward in an alebrije sculpture designed to hang from the ceiling. Zeny and Reyna 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."

Includes a thread for hanging.

Because each alebrije is individually created work of folk art, shapes will vary slightly. Small parts are separated for shipping to protect from breakage.

Horse of the Sea Hand Painted Seahorse Alebrije Sculpture

Marina Lozano

(12)

This irresistible, colorful creature from Marina Lozano will win your heart. The alebrije is crafted by hand from recycled papier mache and carefully painted by hand. The whimsical sculpture has the body of a seahorse and the wings of a butterfly.

The folk art tradition of alebrijes dates back to the 1930's in Mexico City. A man named Pedro Linares was taken ill, and in his fevered dreams he saw a strange land populated with curious creatures--a donkey with wings, a rooster with bull's horns, and a lion with the head of a dog. The beasts all ran at him, shouting "alebrije! alebrije!". Upon his recovery, Linares began recreating the fantastical creatures he had seen in his dream. The art form gained popularity, and alebrijes are now made of wood as well as papier mache.

Colorful Beauty!

This alebrije is amazing. I bought it to add to may collection of Marina Lozano"s beautiful work. I tell my 7 year old grand daughter that these will be her's someday...and that they are not toys but works of art.

A one of a kind gift for a cherished friend.

Unique piece of artwork that was perfect for a dear friend who collects hummingbirds and needed a special addition to them. I am amazed at how wonderfully made this is made and the true appearance of being a bird in flight.

Another amazing work by Zeny and Reyna

This little cat is just adorable! Right now she is keeping a friend of mine company (a temporary "adoption"). The details are amazing. I check frequently to see what is new from Zeny and Reyna.
