    Description

    This is a wonderful
    Group of Dias de los Muertos Alebrijie skeleton figures with the heads of animals.  They are all farm yard animals; a Goat, a Deer, a Rooster and a Cow.
    Included in this set are the 4 figures as well as 4 chairs, a table, 4 bottles of Mezcal and two books...
    This set was entirely
    handmade, hand carved and hand painted by Inocencio Vasquez of
    San Martín Tilcajete
    in Oaxaca Mexico. This imaginative group is an extraordinary work of
    Art, and
    would
    make a
    great gift or addition to your Mexican Folk
    Art
    Collection!
    When laying flat each figure measures approximately:  8 inches tall by 4 inches wide
    and
    2 1/2 inches deep.
    I recently
    received
    an order from Oaxaca with many pieces by this artist....

    "
    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.
