    FABULOUS CURVED NECK COLORFUL GIRAFFE
    Alebrijes 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.
