FABULOUS CURVED NECK COLORFUL GIRAFFEAlebrijes are Mexico's fantastic, imaginative figures - they are often called "creatures of the dreams and the imagination". They are hand-carved and hand-painted of copal wood in Central Mexico in the state of Oaxaca, where I travel regularly to select affordable high quality and imaginative pieces. Oaxaca's wood carvings are collected world-wide and are exhibited in galleries and museums. This fabulous piece is a terrific carving with its uniquely curved neck . It has beautiful colorful painting with butterflies painted within the detailed artwork. The tail is sisal. Ears and horns are removable.. This beautiful giraffe stands approximately 10 1/2" tall ,9 ' wide and 6 1/2" tall. It is a wonderful, high quality piece.
