Dawncaller (Small Rooster)

Compact but commanding, Dawncaller by Raul Ibañez distills the vibrant energy of his iconic rooster sculptures into a finely carved miniature. Crafted from copal wood and hand-painted with brilliant reds, yellows, blues, and blacks, this small-scale alebrije radiates movement and personality. From the exaggerated comb to the elegantly arched tail, every detail is precise, expressive, and full of life.
Despite its size, this piece holds its own as a decorative statement — perfect for desktops, shelves, or as part of a curated folk art collection. Like all of Ibañez’s work, it blends traditional Oaxacan techniques with modern artistic confidence.
