Francisco Morales: Curious Armadillo AlebrijeThis bright and curious little armadillo by Francisco Morales looks ready for adventure. Its shell is a burst of color, turquoise, red, gold, and purple, painted geometric patterns and tiny dotted details. Even in miniature size, the craftsmanship shines through in every precise brushstroke. With its inquisitive stance and cheerful palette, it feels like a tiny traveler carrying a piece of Oaxacas artistic spirit on its back. Origin: Oaxaca

With its inquisitive stance and cheerful palette

carrying fragments up to twenty times its own weight back to the colony without a moment's hesitation

The red face is sprinkled with delicate dots

He is the patron saint of police officers

the owl is depicted in mid-flight with its wings spread wide

Eduardo has painted the body in a rich grape purple covered in softer lavender ovals

Lucero Fuentes gave it soulful eyes and a bright turquoise nose that make it look curious and ready for adventure
