Alebrije (Spanish pronunciation: [aleˈβɾihe]) are brightly-colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures. Pedro Linares first used the term to describe his papier mache creations in 1936 in Mexico City; generally they represent an imaginary animal made up of parts of different animals. It is also now commonly used in reference to the Oaxacan woodcarvings popularized by Manuel Jimenez.
