Item Details
Description
Pedro Ramirez (Mexican, XX-XXI). Signed "Pedro Ramirez / Arrozola / Oaxaca" on underside. This endearing wooden puppy (perrito) was hand-carved and hand-painted by Pedro Ramirez, a celebrated Oaxacan folk artist of alebrijes. Alebrijes are in essence animal figures that are hand-carved from wood and then hand-painted with lively patterns in contrasting bold hues. This example depicts a sweet dog lying down in a submissive pose with a wagging tail. Note the ears and tail were carved separately; the tail is removable and the ears swing in a playful manner. Ramirez's creations are held in private collections and public institutions throughout the world. A sweet piece, expertly carved and meticulously artisan-painted with endearing paw print and spot motifs. Perfect for any dog lover! Size: 19.5" L x 5.5" W x 8.5" H (49.5 cm x 14 cm x 21.6 cm)
