This unique axolotl sculpture is the design of artists Jesus and Roxana Hernandez who recreate one of Mexico's most iconic creatures in a colorful form. Hand crafted from copal wood and hand painted in vibrant shades such as blue, red, and purple, this axolotl is decorated with the traditional and detailed motifs that distinguish alebrije artwork. The axolotl's gills are detached for safe transport.
