Ariel Playas Oaxaca Alebrije Rabbit – Hand-Carved, Blue Polka Dots, 11"
This hand-carved wooden alebrije rabbit by Oaxacan artist Ariel Playas captures the spirit of Mexico’s rich folk art tradition. Featuring a bold blue palette with dark polka-dot accents, this whimsical figure stands upright with exaggerated ears and a vivid expression. The form is both playful and sculptural, showcasing the artisan’s eye for detail and lively color.
Expertly made from copal wood, the preferred medium for Oaxacan alebrijes, the figure is signed "A. Playas Oaxaca" on the underside. It includes a factory-applied tag and features removable ears and tail—hallmarks of high-quality production that allow for safer handling and shipping. The piece reflects the fusion of imagination and craftsmanship that defines this celebrated art form, rooted in the Zapotec and Mixtec carving traditions of the region.
Perfect for collectors of Latin American folk art or those seeking a unique, handcrafted decorative piece.
