Masterpiece Elephant - Oaxacan Alebrije Wood Carving elephant

Masterpiece Elephant - Oaxacan Alebrije Wood Carving elephantExceptionally detailed elephant alebrije wood carving by the Morales family workshop. This incredible piece took 10 months to complete (from carving, drying, and painting)and was hand carved out of a single block of copal wood. The painting was very well done and incorporates the fine Morales style of painting with ancient Zapotec patterns which have a great presence and importance in Oaxacan arts and culture. Not a single detail was spared in
