This charming little coyote <i>alebrije,</i> who could be whistling a tune on a sunny day, is hand crafted out of cedar wood by artisan Teresita Gonzalez of Mexico. A bright array of colors and myriad of floral motifs are among the many hand painted details this delightful alebrije has to offer. The tail is removed for shipping.<br><br>The artisan says about what her art means to her: “The doctor diagnosed me with cancerous sarcoma, but I'd look at my son and I knew my work in life wasn't finished. I began painting as a form of therapy, and I've learned to believe in life and to have dreams.'
