Hand carved slingshot in the shape of a Nahualá Man. Notice the delicate carved details of his morral bag, poncho skirt and hat in this beautiful piece. Tiny metal eyes are a strange feature. Slingshots are very common hunting weapons still used in the Guatemalan Highlands. Young boys like to catch small birds, lizards or even mice with their slingshots and they customize them with a special look. Patina all over the piece denotes use and age. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
