Catalogue Note
This 20-inch hand-carved cedar wall sculpture is a refined example of Guatemalan folk craftsmanship. Made from regional cedar, a wood valued for its fine grain and warm tonal aging, the piece presents a stylized human figure with expressive features and visible hand-tool marks. The original forged nails remain intact, contributing to its historical authenticity. Traditionally shaped by rural artisans, works like this reflect a fusion of colonial-era symbolism with indigenous technique. Its scale and weathered patina suggest prior household display as part of a longstanding cultural tradition.
