Woodcarvers from Oaxaca, Mexico have carved toys for children, and masks for religious and festive occasions
for hundreds of years. Today Oaxacan carvers create “alebrijes”, imaginative figures carved out of the local
copal wood and painted in bright fantastical colors, continuing the tradition of creative woodworking in
Arrazola, Oaxaca, Mexico. This colorful, friendly “Armadillo” woodcarving by master
carver, Coindo Melchorg was purchased from the artist at his home in Arrazola, Oaxaca in the 1990s.
