Description

Part guardian, part spirit, this winged Xoloitzcuintli alebrije is a breathtaking tribute to Día de los Muertos. Hand-carved from copal wood by master artisans in Oaxaca, Mexico, the seated Xolo wears a hand-painted calavera (skull) face and spine, with a richly patterned chest in blue, green and gold, all crowned by a pair of glowing sunburst wings in yellow, white and red.

In Aztec belief the Xolo guided the souls of the departed on their journey through Mictlán, the underworld. With its wings and skeletal markings, this piece celebrates that sacred role as a protector between worlds. This one-of-a-kind Mexican wood carving makes a meaningful spirit animal totem, a beautiful ofrenda piece, or a prized addition to any collection of authentic alebrijes.
