Rainbow Snail Multicolored Wood Snail Alebrije Figurine from Mexico _description--expanded Pablo Castellanos sets the deepHusband and wife duo Zeny and Reyna from Oaxaca grew up with the tradition of carving alebrijes (fantastical figurines of real and imagined animals); both of their parents were master carvers in that region's traditional folk art.
