Alebrije Bear Figurine | Hand-Carved & Hand Painted Mexican Folk Art from Oaxaca

Fierce, vibrant, and alive with centuries of Oaxacan tradition, this hand-carved bear alebrije commands attention the moment it enters a room. Crouched in a primal, prowling stance with fangs bared, every inch of its surface is transformed into a canvas of intricate Zapotec-inspired storytelling—from the vivid turquoise snout and sun-drenched gold fretwork to the hypnotic green scales and deep amethyst bands. Handcrafted from native copal wood and hand painted with single-hair brush precision, it isn’t merely wood decor; it is an extraordinary piece of original art, a one-of-a-kind spirit guardian, and a masterclass in Mexican folk art destined to be the crown jewel of any fine art collection.

Images 11-14 are with our production partner Florencio Fuentes Melchor of Manos Creativas Workshop. Alebrijes are shaped creations based on artist imaginations, dreams, or fantasies. The hand-carved alebrije process uses knives and machetes to shape the copal tree wood, with expert painters making each animal figurine unique. They may be cleaned with a dry or wet cloth. San Martin Tilcajete is a community that concerns itself with the environment, and we reforest our raw materials such as the copal tree.
