Mexican alebrijes are vibrant, hand-carved sculptures of fantastic creatures, carved from wood, particularly in Oaxaca.
They are now a prominent folk art tradition known for their fantastical, hybrid forms and colorful, intricate patterns. They are often believed to ward off evil spirits and are considered a symbol of creativity, luck, and the magical side of Mexican culture.
This alebrije must have lost his nose during an adventure, but he is still lively and vibrant, with removable wings, spikes, and tail.
