GREATEST ALEBRIJE IN THE WORLD
November 20th, (Mexican Revolution Commemoration Day)
Dallas, Texas Alebrijes are brightly-colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical animal-like creatures. While Pedro Linares first used the term to describe his papier mache creations, it is now commonly used in reference to the Oaxacan woodcarvings popularized by Manuel Jimenez.
