Alebrije Winged Heart Copal Wood Ornament from Mexico, "Winged Turquoise Heart"
Add a unique touch to your holiday ornament collection with this detailed alebrije heart by husband and wife duo Jesus and Roxana. They hand-carve it from copal wood and hand-paint it with joyful geometric designs in turquoise, cyan blue, and purple.
Jesus and Roxana Hernandez come from a Zapotec community in Oaxaca where a large number of the residents work crafting alebrijes. Jesus takes care of the carving part while Roxana works her magic creating the colorful patterns that decorate them.

"Beautiful!"
Purple is my favorite color and I love armadillos so I had to get this. Being a lot smaller than many alebrijes but still a decent size its also quite affordable. It looks exactly like the one in the picture.
