Hand carved slingshot in the shape of the beautiful eagle. Notice the delicate carved details of feathers and tale in this beautiful piece. The claws have a dead snake that the eagle has hunted. 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!
