Great Vintage Mexican Folk Art Alebrije in the manner of Manuel Jimenez New England folk art it is only from someI believe this Alebrije is a llama, and a very charming one, painted stained a great mellow reddish pinkish orange, with a soft ochre yellow for the interior of the ears and black squiggles all over for the fur.
