Fine Art, Collectibles, Gifts and Gift Ideas -- All Made By Hand By The Indigenous Peoples Of Mexico

PLEASE REMEMBER TO LOOK IN "WHAT'S NEW".

We are here in Oaxaca, Mexico and are pleased if we can provide you with art, collectibles and gifts for family, friends and associates. 

We now offer or will be offering:

• Alebrijes -- imaginative and fantastical figures carved from the copal tree and hand decorated -- considered fine art
• Sculptures in wood -- these are sometimes confused with Alebrijes because of their unique color schemes
• Ceramics including Barro Negro which is made only in the Valley of Oaxaca
• Textiles in cotton, wool and silk -- all grown in Mexico -- and hand woven and embroidered
• Sculptures in natural iron wood
• Decorative and ceremonial swords and other products in stainless steel
• Ceremonial masks hand carved from copal, oak and pine
• Talavera, the famous art of ceramic dinnerware from the states of Puebla and Tlaxcala
• Tin sculptures -- the Indigenous peoples of Mexico have been working with tin for centuries
• Useful Stuff -- odds and ends which defy categorization but are all hand crafted in wood, steel, tin, clay and leather.

Art of the Indians, or Indigenous peoples, of Mexico -- the Zapotec, Mixtec, Olmec, Maya, Aztec (Mexicas), Yaqui and Apache and others. One might refer to some of the pieces pictured here as crafts or handicrafts. One would be wrong. The work that you will see represents these peoples' view of their world and everything in it. These Indigenous artisans and their families whose work you see here are carrying on traditions that, in most cases, stretch back through time more than two millennia. You can meet the artists whose work we invite you to purchase by visiting the Pale Horse Galleries main website. And please, if you have any questions or would like more information, do not hesitate to contact us by clicking on "Contact Us" over there on the left or by sending an email to palehorsemex "at" gmail.com. Also, we encourage you to visit other sites offering Alebrijes.
