Hand carved slingshot of a Ceremonial Dancer. Nice carved details of the face and leg rattles give the piece a unique look. 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!
