Mother Opossum Handmade Wood Alebrije Sculpture

Gerardo and Teresa Ojeda

(16)

This marvelous alebrije sculpture is from Mexican artisans Gerardo and Teresa Ojeda. Carved from copal wood, a mother opossum carries her three joeys on her back. The sculpture is painted by hand in wonderful detail, and the baby opossums are attached to the mother with aluminium wire.

The folk art tradition of alebrijes dates back to the 1930s 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 the nonsense word, "alebrije! alebrije!". Upon his recovery, Linares began recreating the fantastical creatures he had seen in his dream in papier mache. The art form gained popularity, and alebrijes are now made of wood as well as papier mache. The same style of painting can also be found on other (non-animal) items.

Wonderful little Panda Friend!

So glad to see that these are available again. When I got mine, it was the last one. I turned mine into an ornament for my Christmas tree. I purchased several of Claudio's key chain figures to turn into ornaments. I can always find room for one more ornament. Amazing artistry! Always pleased with the work by Claudio.
