A vintage Guatemalan Slingshot of a Mary and Baby Jesus. Hand carved and lightly painted wood used to sustain the hunter who carved it, and his family. True vintage folk art. A long tradition of art and craftsmanship with a purpose. These little sculptures range from Saints to Aztec warriors. Very good condition and lightly painted. Still has the sling but it is in knots. Enlarge each photo for details and study them closely. Height 5 1/2″ /Width 1 1/4″ /Depth 1 1/2 /Measurements are without the stand.

An exquisitely crafted, rich wood plate by American master Woodturner Bob Stocksdale. Signed and marked (“Jenisero from Guatemala”) by the artist on the verso. The piece radiates in the light. Stocksdale’s many honors include the American Association of Woodturners Lifetime Achievement Award (1998) and the Masters of the Medium Award, James Renwick Alliance (2003). Stocksdale received the American Craft Council’s Gold Medal in 1995. His works are prized by collectors and appear in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Oakland Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, Scotland to name a few. Would be a fantastic addition to any collectors of his work or a great stand-alone accent piece. Dimensions: 17 3/4 diameter. It has some light nicks and scratches, not bad for it’s age :.

This is a very unique and rare piece of Guatemala folk art. Hand carved wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ on the crucifix. It was like that when I got it from an estate sale. It is also tilting but still sturdy, so maybe it was intended that way.
