Description: Vintage Oaxaca Alebrije Dog Carving by Antonio Carrillo—hard to come by; this popular carver’s work is increasing in value. I bought this carved wooden folk art piece about 30 years ago; it is in good used condition; the tail was originally made so that it was a separate piece; it kept falling off, so the only difference from its original condition is that the tail is now glued in place. This piece will delight anyone who loves or collects folk art. A spotted dog—a Dalmatian looking dog, white, with multiple black patches, has a sense of coiled-up energy, seeming about to whirl into action; this is a one-of-kind carving, expertly made. I’m offering this piece at his original asking price. It is no longer for sale by the company who represents Carrillo in the States. They are now offering carvings of similar size and complexity for a higher price. Take a look at other websites for yourself. With free shipping, this is a hard deal to beat! More about the wood carver: Carrillo’s work has captivated many people with his imaginative carvings of common animals—made fanciful, in his own recognizable style. He has essentially created a one-man folk art style! Carrillo lives and works in Arrazola, a small Mexican village in the state of Oaxaca, well-known for its artisans, where imported Mexican black pottery and exquisite weaving is made by other artisans as well. Each of Carrillo’s wood carvings is meticulously carved from prized Copal wood and painted. His work is prodigious—and the market for in North America just keeps growing! Dimensions: 6” X 5” X 5 1/2” tall, with the tail up, as designed. As seen in photos, it is signed by the artist. Shipping is free for this work. Thank you for looking!
