Alebrije-Style Wood Heart Key Fob, "Cherry Heart"
This darling key fob is hand crafted by Mexico's Claudio Ojeda. The heart-shaped fob is carved of copal wood and painted by hand in the style of alebrijes, colorful folk art sculptures of animals. It is attached to a stainless steel key ring and chain. The artisan signs his pieces with the initials "T.C.", which represent his initial "C" preceded by his mother Teresita's initial "T". Claudio learned the art of crafting alebrijes from his mother.

"This is now a beautiful Xmas ornament!"
I never intended to use this beautiful piece as a key fob - it is much too precious to be subjected to the wear and tear of being used for keys. The finely detailed and intricate hand painting is of the highest quality. The vibrant colors and the wide eyes make this a stand out piece!

"Sweet gifts for caregivers"
I was reluctant to break up the set but so happy I did. Gave one to each of our caregivers as a simple heartfelt Christmas gift. They were delighted when I offered the set for them to pick from.
