In sculpture, an armature is a framework around
which the sculpture is built. This framework
provides structure and stability, especially when
a plastic material such as wax or clay is being
used as the medium. When sculpting the human
figure, the armature is analogous to the major
skeleton and has essentially the same purpose to
hold the body erect

An alebrije (pronounced ale'ß?ihe) is a
brightly-colored Mexican folk art sculptures of
fantastical animal-like creatures. While Pedro
Linares first used the term to describe his
papier mache creations, it is now commonly used
in reference to the Oaxacan woodcarvings
popularized by Manuel Jimenez

The Origin of Alebrijes
Pedro Linares started out as a common papier
mache artist who eked out a living on the
outskirts of Mexico City by making traditional
piñatas, carnival masks, and Judas dolls for
local fiestas. In the 1930s, he broke from
tradition and started creating elaborate
decorative pieces that represented imaginary
creatures he called alebrijes. Inspired by a
dream when he fell ill at age 30,1 these papier
mache sculptures were brightly-painted with
intricate patterns and frequently featured wings,
horns, tails, fierce teeth, and bulgy eyes
