The cat is carved of copal wood, its black body hand-painted with intricate floral motifs and dots in fiery tones of orange. br br Alebrijes are a fairly recent Mexican art form, attributed to Pedro Linares. Unconscious due to illness in 1936, he was presumed near death and yet his dreams were extremely vivid. He tells of a place where all was peaceful and quiet until all of a sudden there appeared a lion with an eagles head, a rooster with bulls horns and a donkey with butterfly wings. They kept screeching "alebrije, alebrije!" and Pedro began running away. He encountered a man who told him it was not yet his time to be there are and he should continue running towards the exit. In this dream Pedro climbed out of a window and regained consciousness.

This endearing hand-painted cat i alebrije /i figurine embodies the essence of Mexicos rich cultural tradition. Artisans Jesus and Roxana Hernandez
