A pair of carved wood alebrije TURTLES by the Hipolito Fabian Ojeda of San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca Mexico. These beautiful tortugas each measure 2", but boy, do they have character! Alebrijes are figures carved from wood in San Martin and Arrazola in the Oaxacan Valley. You can get a short history from Wikipeida.
Sur Al Norte’s mission is to promote Mexican culture and economic sustainability via the concept of “compassionate capitalism”. We purchase our items directly from the artists, their families or enterprises that offer good employment in their communities. We pay a fair price for the goods we purchase and offer them as a good value to our customers.
There are other members of eBay who engage in similar practices and we encourage you to visit their sites and give them your business . By spreading it around, you’ll be helping people in impoverished communities.
Sur Al Norte is a 
micro lender. A percentage of every purchase is given back in the form of loans to Mexican entrepreneurs who want to open their own businesses.
We also donate to Compassion Without Borders , a California based organization that rescues dogs and other distressed animals from Mexico. Even if you don't buy from us, please visit their website and donate what you can.
