Alebrijes Keychain Day of the Dead Frida Heart Handmade Oaxaca Mexican Folk Art

Description: This is a really fun Dias de los Muertos Alebrijes Keychain with a hand painted image of Frida Kahlo as a skeleton on a wood heart. This heart was entirely handmade, hand carved and hand painted by Inocencio Vasquez of San Martín Tilcajete in Oaxaca Mexico. Thie imaginative piece is a wonderful example of Mexican Folk Art from Oaxaca. What a great gift he would make for the Day of the Dead fan, or a fun addition to your own Mexican Folk Art Collection! If you don't like it as a keychain you can take the chain off and wear it as a necklace. It measures approximately: 3 1/2 inches long (including keychain) and the heart is 1 3/4 inches square and 1/2 inch deep. I have 2 other keychains similar to this one, see photo #7 or go to my Ebay Store for a larger selection of Inocencio's work. "Inocencio is the creator of several distinctive styles of carved and painted wooden pieces. He is best known for his borrachos (drunkards) often in the ironic form of angels, his human-like devils, and human or human-animal nahual musicians. In Inocencio’s pueblo, residents enjoy recalling the traditional belief that ordinary people can turn themselves into animals at night, particularly when there is a full moon. Many of Inocencio’s creations lend themselves to assemblages, such as four drunken angels or four devils seated on individually carved chairs around a table, or skeleton dancing partners. Another is a band composed of musicians in varied poses such as a marimba trio. Many of Inocencio’s figures have articulated joints, one of his signature features. He prides himself most on his jointed devils." I do combine shipping on multiple items... please follow the instructions below....
