Alebrijes (wood carving) is a Mexican folk art that has been collected all over the world.
This piece is made by "Calixto Santiago" of the Santiago family in Launion, Oaxaca, one of the most famous villages in Oaxaca.
They pride themselves on using jacaranda wood, which is considered to be of the highest quality.
He is the son of "Placido Santiago," the brother of "Martín Santiago," the master of the Santiago family.
The primitive and rustic nature of his work makes it very appealing.
This is the kind of imported folk art that makes you want to collect it.
