This exquisite alebrije sculpture from Oaxaca, Mexico, features a vibrant hummingbird hovering above a colorful lotus flower—both entirely hand-carved and painted by Oaxacan artisans. Crafted from copal wood and painted with incredible precision, this piece reflects the rich heritage and imagination behind traditional Mexican folk art.
Alebrijes are fantastical creatures deeply rooted in the culture of Oaxaca, often representing spiritual guardians or symbols of transformation. This particular piece brings together two powerful elements of nature: the hummingbird, a symbol of joy and energy, and the lotus flower, representing rebirth and inner peace.
Each detail—from the vibrant feathers to the layered petals—is painted by hand using bright, lively tones, making every sculpture truly one of a kind.
Ideal for collectors, spiritual spaces, or as a unique gift infused with cultural meaning.
