Yawar Fiesta Folk Art Wood Retablo Sculpture from Peru

Alejandro Chavez

(204)

Celebrating the condor and its impressive size and strength, the yawar ("blood" in Quechua) fiesta takes place in Peru's Apurimac and Ayacucho regions. The condor represents the people of Peru, while the bull represents the Spanish. If the condor flies, this augurs a good harvest, and musicians accompany the event. Alejandro Chávez crafts the wooden box to house this retablo, or diorama and paints it in vivid colors. The figures are carefully modeled from ceramic plaster and painted by hand.

Okokan Unique Hand Carved Wood Balinese Folk Art Cowbell

Made Mulyani

(222)

This delightful hand-carved wood wall accent from Made Mulyani in Bali is based on the traditional Balinese okokan, or cow bell. The bell was originally created to keep track of cows and repel evil spirits, but is also used as a musical instrument in processions and ritual dances. The demonic and yet somehow whimsical face features crooked teeth, a cleft lip, and cat-like eyes. The dangling tongue serves as the bell's clapper.

Blue Iguana Hand Crafted Folk Art Iguana Alebrije Sculpture from Mexico

Jesus and Roxana Hernandez

(102)

Preserving an art form unique to Oaxaca, artisans Jesus and Roxana Hernandez craft this amazing alebrije sculpture of an iguana. The sculpture is carved by hand from copal wood and painted with myriad motifs in vibrant blues and warm browns. The sculpture makes a great addition to any space.

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.
