Multicolored Wood Snail Alebrije Figurine from Mexico - Rainbow Snail Domino Sets Helping to preserve Guatemala's tremendousHusband 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.
