This is an Alebrije wood carving (wooden figurine) of a Munchkin-like cat, directly imported from Mexico, which was also featured on "Itte Q!" (a Japanese TV show). The cat's form is cute, and you'll want to keep it by your side. The colorful Mexican patterns brighten up your room. Perfect as a gift for cat lovers! I visited the Alebrije production area in Oaxaca and purchased it directly. Oaxaca Alebrije wood carvings are world-famous and are even displayed in the New York Museum of Modern Art. Stylish as an accent piece for your room. You'll be captivated by the adorable, textured form and the detailed, traditional painted patterns. It seems like it will bring you happiness♪ In Mexico, they also have the meaning of a good luck charm, making it an item you'll want to collect many of your favorites. ***Alebrijes have recently been attracting attention worldwide. They were animated in the movie "Coco" and were also featured on the TV show "Sekai no Hate Made Itte Q!" That's no surprise, as each one is hand-carved and painted by artisans, and in some areas of Mexico, the entire village makes Alebrijes as their main industry. A piece that showcases the skills of Mexican artisans, perfect as a gift or for yourself. Size: Length: 8cm Height: 4.5cm
