This media file features a vibrantly painted wooden sculpture of an owl, characteristic of Zapotec alebrije folk art from San Martín Tilcajete, Mexico. The owl is depicted with large, outstretched wings, adorned with intricate, psychedelic patterns and a rich palette of colors including brilliant oranges, yellows, greens, blues, reds, and black, highlighted with gold-like accents.

Every section of the owl, from its feathers to its body, is covered in meticulously painted motifs such as concentric circles, spirals, teardrop shapes, dots, and geometric patterns, creating a highly detailed and captivating visual. The owl's stylized face features prominent eyes and a sharp beak, while its black, clawed feet are visible on the right side of the sculpture.

The sculpture is displayed indoors, mounted against a light-colored wall. Wooden beams or shelves are visible in the background, and green foliage can be glimpsed through a window or opening in the lower left, suggesting natural light.

A small tag is attached near the owl's feet, displaying the following text: "BUHO DE 4 PIEZAS" (Owl of 4 pieces), "VIVE", and "PRECIO $5,200.00". The intricate craftsmanship and vibrant aesthetic are hallmarks of Oaxacan artisanal traditions.
