This is beautiful! What is exactly an Alebrije?

Mimi Aguilar

Alebrijes are brightly coloured mixes of animals in very bright colors. They are normally added to ofrendas as it is thought they can scare bad spirits and bad vibes. They’re fairly recent additions (like 1930’s) but they are supposed to resemble ancient aztec animal morphs that were used as protective totems
