Armadillo Alebrije, 2-piece set.

In Nahuatl, the word for armadillo is "ayotochtli" and translates as "rabbit turtle" due to its peculiar way of curling into a defensive ball with its natural armor.

The armadillo has represented protection, resistance, and strength in Mesoamerican cultures, and is one of the main figures in the manifestation of tradition and creativity in Oaxacan crafts.

This set of 2 beautiful Armadillo Alebrijes features floral figures with vibrant pink, blue, yellow and green brushstrokes, measuring 2" tall, 1.5" long and 5.5" wide.
