Handcrafted Purple Wood Alebrije Playful Cat Figurine, "Curiosity Cousin in Purple"
With paws outstretched, a quirk of her striped tail, and a sweet expression on her face, this curious cat alebrije wood figurine is certain to capture your heart. Handcrafted from copal wood by Mexican artisans Pablo and Lucy Mendez, the little cat is hand-painted in shades of purple with gold and white accents. Small parts are separated for shipping to protect from breakage.
As alebrije artisans interpret the natural curves of each copal branch to help determine the final design, each alebrije sculpture can have unique variations.
