Description: Vintage Mexican Folk Art ALEBRIJE wood carving Oaxaca Dia De Los Muertos Death Cart Attributed to Santiago Family Excellent addition to any Mexican folk art collection! 17.5"L x 6.75"H x 5.75"W Vintage condition. *note that the horses snout has been attached, but it's a very flat clean line, so it seems like it might have been intentional rather than by an accident, but don't know for sure. In the 1940s, with the construction of the Pan-American Highway, Oaxaca opened up to tourism, and folk art stores started to be seen in Oaxaca City and at the Monte Alban archeological site. It was at this time as a young child that while tending goats that Manuel Jimenez began carving and selling his creations. Then, eventually, this new art form caught on in neighboring towns. Please review all photos as part of the description. All sales are final. #vintagemexicanfolkart #animalitos #oaxaca #alebrije #mexicanwoodcarving #mexicanfolkart #oaxacanwoodcarving #oaxacan #oaxacananimals #alebrijes
