Cherry Heart Alebrije-Style Wood Heart Key Fob _artisan--novica-artisan-13972 accompanying brass beads with spheresThis darling key fob is hand crafted by Mexico's Claudio Ojeda. The heart shaped fob is carved of copal wood and painted by hand in the style of alebrijes, colorful folk art sculptures of animals. It is attached to a stainless steel key ring and chain. The artisan signs his pieces with the initials 'T. C.', which represent his initial 'C' preceded by his mother Teresita's initial 'T'. Claudio learned the art of crafting alebrijes from his mother.
