Multicolored Wood Snail Alebrije Figurine from Mexico - Rainbow Snail Lilac Gray Guatemalan artisan Rodrigo Ramos operatesHusband and wife duo Zeny and Reyna from Oaxaca grew up with the tradition of carving alebrijes (fantastical figurines of real and imagined animals); both of their parents were master carvers in that region's traditional folk art. Here they create a wonderfully colorful snail in great detail. The snail is carved by hand from copal wood and painted in a wide array of meticulous patterns. Small parts are separated for shipping to protect from breakage.
