MANUEL JIMÉNEZ FAMILY Alebrijes Oaxacan Carved Jungle Cat

Originating from Oaxaca, Mexico, this alebrije statue by the family of famed Mexican sculptor Manuel Jimenez Ramirez (1919-2005) depicts a prowling jungle cat in bright tones of green and dandelion yellow. Known for his alebrije figures, Jimenez only taught only his two sons, Angélico (1954-) and Isaías (1961-) his carving techniques, both of whom continue his working traditions. Freestanding, this colorful, ethnic sculpture is signed on the bottom of the jungle cat’s torso by the family.

This sculpture is amongst hundreds of pieces of art that are available at our location in Grandview! Come in today and see the full collection.
