Rainbow Snail Multicolored Wood Snail Alebrije Figurine from Mexico _artisan--novica-artisan-10484 materials: Sterling silver and moonstoneHusband 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.
