This substantial little turtle is more a fine example of alebrije without having the slightly menacing look of many of them. the detail is amazing, and the expression on its face is wonderful - both knowing and olayful. The colors fit well with current decor while retaining a folk art feel.
I found this sculpture and knew that I had to buy it. I gave it to my boyfriend on the anniversary of our first kiss. HE LOVES IT! This sculpture is a beautiful symbol of love for everyone to cherish.
I love this small wood sculpture. The pensiveness of the subject and the abstracted body revealing an empty space where her heart should be is thought provoking. The wood is also a lovely shaded brown.
