This vintage wood carving is a beautiful example of Oaxacan folk art. Handmade in Mexico, the piece features a rhinoceros animal made with carved wood and painted with vibrant colors of orange, red, yellow, black, tan, and brown. The sculpture is 13 inches long and has a rustic, outsider art style that is perfect for collectors of Latin American and Mexican culture. The carving is considered an alebrije, a traditional Mexican art form that involves carving and painting on wood. The piece is similar to the work of Manuel Jimenez Ramirez, Manuel Jimenez, Arrazola, and Tilcajete. It is a unique addition to any collection and is in excellent shape for its age.
