Hand carved slingshot in the shape of the Ceremonial Dancer wearing a Jaguar costume. Notice the delicate carved details of the costume and mask while playing the maracas in this beautiful piece. 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. Original rubber and leather pieces complete the slingshot. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
