Large Jaguar Head Alebrije Wood Carving Frida Catrina Handmade Mexican Folk Art

Description: Large Jaguar Head Alebrije Wood Carving Frida Catrina Handmade Mexican Folk Art This large jaguar head was hand carved and hand painted by the artist, Humberto Lazaro. His hand painted items are all one of a kind and he uses no stencils. This jaguar features bright colors, flowers and his beautiful image of his Day of the Dead "Catrina Lovers". This jaguar head is one-of-a-kind! History:Hand painted and signed by the talented artist, Humberto Lazaro Salvador, in Mexico. The artist, Humberto, is from Ahuehuepan, Guerrero, Mexico. Ahuehuepan is a small indigenous village in Mexico where Humberto learned his craft and love of painting from his grandfather, Luciano. Luciano carved this fierce jaguar (with his ears down and ready to pounce) by hand from a single piece of natural Guamuchil wood. Humberto's style of painting is unique with his use of the traditional Nahuatl style flowers and Alebrije details along with a painting of a Day of the Dead Frida Kahlo Catrina. Details:Humberto first painted the entire jaguar with matte black and added bright matte colors and shiny gold metallics. The natural grain of the wood adds texture and depth behind his painted details. This jaguar has bright eyes with orange in the center and metallic gold flower petals (eyelashes) around his eyes. Bright purple flowers decorate his cheeks and white swirls decorate the tip of his nose. Bright yellow petals and dots add a 3D look to the bridge of his nose. His hand carved fangs are bright metallic gold and he has a hand carved red tongue. Bright red outlines the inside of his mouth and bright turquoise colors emphasize his bottom lip. The most unique part of this artist's design is his incorporation of hand painted images into each section. On the top is a beginning to a new painting. Humberto created a unique, artistic, breathtaking image of a Day-of-the-Dead Frida Kahlo Catrina. She has bright blue Day-of-the-Dead style eyes with metallic gold and red floral outlines. This Frida Catrina's face is detailed with traditional flowers and floral vines. Her bright red Day-of-the-Dead lips and long red hair are extraordinary. We love how her hair is garnished with turquoise flowers, purple flowers and green leaves. The bottom is hand signed by the artist, Humberto Lazaro. This is a very special piece of art and one from Humberto's Frida Kahlo series. Unique and one of a kind.
