The Feathered-Serpent deity of ancient Mesoamerican culture, known as Quetzalcoatl, is the star of this exceptional alebrije figurine that pays homage to traditional Mexican folk art in a most captivating manner. The vivid hues and intricate motifs that adorn this decorative accent are the handiwork of artisans Alejandro and Rocio Jimenez, who also carve by hand this splendid figurine from copal wood.

This armadillo has beautiful and vibrant colors, and is meticulously crafted. The wood is light but sturdy, and having a handcrafted wooden figurine makes it so much more special compared to something plastic or even metal. Currently this armadillo has found a home in my fiancés office and she has said how much it brightens up the space and brings smiles to peoples faces. I Highly recommend this item. l Would purchase other varieties of this armadillo if they were ever crested by the artist.
