This alebrije dog, with ears perked high, is giving you his full attention. Eugenia and Roberto Sosa handcraft this little dog from copal wood with a studded collar, vibrant colors and a variety of detailed motifs. Alebrijes, a Mexican folk art popularized in Oaxaca, are detailed, colorful, and fantastical wood carvings.
The natural shape of the branch dictates the alebrije's finished form. Thus no two are ever identical, and each one is a unique example of Mexican folk art.
