Day of the Dead Alebrije Animals

Day of the Dead alebrijes are colorful, fantastical creatures that blend the traditional symbolism of Día de los Muertos with the whimsical artistry of Mexican folk art.

Originating from Oaxaca, these vibrantly colored pieces feature a fusion of animals and mythical elements, often painted in bright colors and adorned with intricate patterns.

Incorporating both creativity and tradition, Day of the Dead alebrijes have become beloved symbols of the holiday, embodying the vibrant energy and spiritual significance of the celebration.
