A striking example of traditional Oaxacan folk art, this hand carved and hand painted wood sculpture is signed by renowned artisan Pepe Santiago. Dating to the 1970s, the work exemplifies the imaginative artistry of Alebrijes, fantastical animal figures that blend myth, culture, and vibrant design.
Santiago’s detailed carving and bold use of color reflect the distinctive Oaxacan tradition that has since gained worldwide recognition. Collectors prize his work for its originality, expressive character, and connection to Mexico’s rich cultural heritage.
An exceptional piece of mid 20th century Mexican folk art, both collectible and a conversation piece that celebrates the artistry of Oaxaca.
