This small size Green & Black Snake Magnet is a tiny Alebrije works of art!! This piece was entirely handmade, hand carved and hand painted by Ana Xuana of San Martín Tilcajete in Oaxaca Mexico. Ana comes from a family of Alebrije artists (see photo # 9 of her family). She is one of the few Alebrije artists who undertakes the entire production of a piece herself. From the carving, sanding and painting, Ana does all of these steps. Most ...Alebrije artists specialize in one part of the process, such as the carving or the painting.... This little snake would make a great gift for the herpetologist, or a nice gift for yourself!!!
It measures: 1 3/4 inches long, 1 1/4 inch wide and 1/2 of an inch tall.
It is brand new and is signed by Ana on his belly.
"Ana carves fine miniatures, specializing in masks, animals, and mermaids – some mounted as earrings. Many of her family members carve, but she is the only one who devotes herself to miniatures. The delicacy of her painting also distinguishes her work."
