Vintage Alebrije Porcupine Hand Made Folk Art Oaxaca Mexico Copal Rainbow Colors

 

Delightful vintage Mexican Folk Art figurine is in very good condition. Talented Mexican artists hand carved its body from copal wood and its quills from  maguey plant fiber. They use a multiple array of vibrant colors to give life to this porcupine and  decorate it with the traditional and detailed motifs that distinguish Mexico's alebrije artwork. It is approximately 3.5 inches tall, 5 inches long and 6 inches wide. None of the toothpick like quills are missing.  I was able to remove and replace them when dusting it. Red, orange, green, blue, yellow, purple. All the colors of the rainbow. Handle by the nose or tail.  Check it out in our eBAy store here.

Constructed of wood, (pine I think) paint, and mirrors this Day of the Dead mirror doorway altar is signed by the artist “Thorp 93“ on the back.
Purchased from a local estate it stands approximately 1 foot tall, 8 inches wide and 3 inches deep. Unboxed it weighs 2 lbs. 7oz.
The doors opening up to a mirror that reflects the swirls on the inside is pretty cool. I also like the two little bozo skulls that are hanging over the doorway. (it’s what they look like, anyway)
It’s an interesting folk art item.
