Alebrijes are shaped creations based on artist imaginations, dreams, or fantasies. The hand-carved alebrije process uses knives and machetes to shape the copal tree wood for every copal wood carving, with expert painters making each animal figurine unique. They may be cleaned with a dry or wet cloth. San Martin Tilcajete is a community that concerns itself with the environment, and we reforest our raw materials such as the copal tree.
