Blue Hummingbird Wood Sculpture _artisan--novica-artisan-8197 Pelaez first shapes the woodThis beautiful, delicate little hummingbird is designed to hang from the ceiling. Zeny and Reyna transform found pieces of copal wood into a delightful alebrije. These fanciful sculptures are a traditional folk art in Oaxaca, once based on twenty totems but today representing all kinds of animals. They take their name from a Cal gypsy word for 'something difficult, tangled, confusing or fantastic.' Copal Wood Signed by the artist Some assembly
