Manuel Jiménez Hernández Alebrije Fox — Arrazola Oaxaca, Mexico
Vibrant hand-carved alebrije fox by Manuel Jiménez Hernández, from Arrazola, Oaxaca, Mexico—a region celebrated as the birthplace of Oaxacan wood-carved alebrijes. This piece displays the traditional craftsmanship and bold imagination that define the Jiménez family legacy. Hand-carved from copal wood and intricately hand-painted in red, accented with green, blue, black, and white detailing, the sculpture features alert upright ears, a gracefully curved tail, and expressive eyes.
The artist, part of the renowned Jiménez lineage, continues the tradition begun by Manuel Jiménez Ramírez, the founder of the Oaxacan alebrije style in the mid-20th century. His works carry forward the legacy of transforming native carving traditions into vivid, dreamlike creatures that embody both Mexican folklore and artistic freedom. Signed beneath one foot: “Manuel Jiménez Hernández, Arrazola Oaxaca, Mexico.” A striking and collectible representation of authentic Oaxacan folk art.
