Guardian by Jacobo and María Ángeles
The guardian - a fierce alebrije with beautiful patterns and outstretched wings, this piece is perfect if you're looking for that pop of bright color in your space. It's one of eight intricately detailed prints from Jacobo & Maria's esteemed collection of Oaxacan alebrijes. Crafted in their world-renowned workshop in Oaxaca, Mexico, each alebrije undergoes hours of meticulous hand-carving and hand-painting before being immortalized as a stunning art print.
