Oaxacan villages famous for their amazing wood carving! 👏🏻 🦊 . While many types of Mexican folk art have their origins in pre-Hispanic art and have evolved over hundreds of years, the much beloved carved and painted wood animals, birds, and alebrijes (fanciful monsters), that have now made three Oaxacan villages famous for their wood carving, go back only as far as the 1950s. . Small wooden toys and masks were commonly carved before that time, but in the early 50s, Manuel Jiménez Ramírez pioneered more elaborate and colorful animals and encouraged other wood carvers to do the same. . It was not until the 1980s that the work became enormously popular. . Visit us and take home an exceptional piece of art by our featured artisans available only here! .
