Rearing Jaguar Alebrije Collector's Oaxacan Masterpiece

A true showpiece, this rearing jaguar alebrije rises on its hind legs with one paw raised and jaws open in a mighty roar. Hand-carved from copal wood by master artisans in Oaxaca, Mexico, every surface is covered in extraordinarily fine hand-painted detail: concentric sunbursts in lime and gold, flowing waves of turquoise and cobalt, and crisp Zapotec fretwork framing its ears.

The jaguar is the most powerful Nahual of Mesoamerican tradition, a spiritual guardian of strength, courage and protection, revered as ruler of the night and the jungle. This collector-grade, one-of-a-kind Mexican wood carving commands attention as a centrepiece, a powerful spirit animal totem, or the crown jewel of any collection of authentic alebrijes.
