Impressive Monserrat Hernandez Oaxacan Alebrije Cat – Hand-Carved & Painted, 29½"
This impressive hand-carved wooden alebrije cat by Oaxacan artist Monserrat Hernández captures the vibrant creativity of Mexico’s celebrated folk art tradition. Handcrafted in Arrazola, Oaxaca, the sculpture depicts a gracefully stretching feline with an elongated tail and limbs, rendered in vivid red with intricate geometric and linear motifs in black, violet, and blue. The expressive pose and fine detailing highlight Hernández’s mastery of balance, movement, and color. Carved from copal wood—the traditional medium of Oaxacan alebrijes—the piece is signed “Monserrat Hernanez, Arrazola Oax.” on the underside.
