This is a wonderfully fun Nagual / Shapeshifter with a Zebra Head and a Human Body.  He has been fishing and has caught a fish...  This piece was entirely handmade, hand carved and hand painted by Inocencio Vasquez of San Martín Tilcajete in Oaxaca Mexico. This imaginative Alebrije is a one of a kind piece of Art.  This guy would make a great gift for the Fisherman in your life, or a great addition to your Mexican Folk Art Collection!  

He measures approximately:  6 1/2 inches tall (from the top of his fishing rod to the bottom of his stool) by 3 1/2 inches long and 2 3/4 inches wide.

I have 5 different animal fishermen (see photo #5) by Inocencio for sale... Check my Ebay Store for more pieces by this talented artist...

This piece is brand new and he is signed on the bottom of his feet....

"Inocencio is the creator of several distinctive styles of carved and painted wooden pieces.  He is best known for his borrachos (drunkards) often in the ironic form of angels, his human-like devils, and human or human-animal nahual musicians.  In Inocencio’s pueblo, residents enjoy recalling the traditional belief that ordinary people can turn themselves into animals at night, particularly when there is a full moon. Many of Inocencio’s creations lend themselves to assemblages, such as four drunken angels or four devils seated on individually carved chairs around a table, or skeleton dancing partners.  Another is a band composed of musicians in varied poses such as a marimba trio. Many of Inocencio’s figures have articulated joints, one of his signature features.  He prides himself most on his jointed devils."
