Thank you Zeny and Reyna for another spectacular piece! The details are amazing. I will eventually use this with children as a visual to go with the book Snail Girl (a Navajo story). It has been so much fun to add to my Oaxacan alebrije collection with treasures from Novica.
Nice size, beautifully painted. It is exactly what I wanted -- will work perfectly in my living room to add a touch of whimsy in a rather staid and serious bookcase.
I was struck by the design and theme of this item looking at it on the Novica website. I ordered it and was even more impressed viewing it at home. The detail is amazing. Every cut is perfect. To me this item represents power and beauty. It is a wonderful addition to my art collection.
