Gorgeous and movable representation of the famous “Baile de Animalitos” from Rabinal, in Baja Verapaz. This lovely “toy” allows the user to grab the piece by its handlers and move it back and forward to animate the dancers as if they were dancing on the real parade. The characters can be easily removed from their stands and the articulated wooden piece can be “folded“ together in order to save space. In this wonderful representation, a deer leads the parade, followed by the monkey and the jaguar. Closing the parade, the dog and the bull can be seen. Each dancer holds at least one colorful maraca and their legs are positioned as if they were jumping and cheerfully dancing. A lovely creation of Master Painter Filiberto Simón, exclusively for Casa de Artes.  Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping.
