This item is in stock

The Maya Indian men, particularly those in the altiplano around the town of Nahuala, carve wooden items for their daily use. Pipes and hondas (slingshots) are the items most commonly encountered.

This is very nicely-carved antique wooden slingshot depicting a kneeling monkey figure in the "hear no evil" pose. It is an older used slingshot with a very nice patina from age and handling. It would still be functional if provided with the rubber sling. It is carved from a hard straight wood, possibly walnut. Overall length is about 5.3 inches.
