Cat of the Moon and Water Mexico Alebrije Mystical Cat Sculpture Oaxaca Folk Art _artisan--quazi-designs-tag-boilerplate which are crafted from sterlingThe moon illuminates a mysterious blue cat, while fish and turtles swim across its body. Invoking the power of the moon and water, Zeny and Reyna transform found pieces of copal wood into an exquisite alebrije.

They take their name from a Cal gypsy word for 'something difficult, tangled, confusing or fantastic.'
