Ride the waves with this green wave-rider—an adorable alebrije woodcarving by Socorro Roque! Carved from copal wood and full of colorful hand-painted patterns, this surf-ready frog wears aqua-blue board shorts and sits on a shell-shaped surfboard base that rolls on stylized ocean swirls. His wide-eyed grin and energetic running pose capture the excitement of the beach, while each geometric motif pops with bright, lively colors. This is a perfect example of Mexican folk art.
