Some call the coyote clever. Others call it a trickster. In Mesoamerican and Highland Guatemalan folklore, the animal carries associations with wit, transformation, adaptability, and survival. Carved by the Aj Canil Family of Chichicastenango, this mask gives that restless intelligence a face.

Hand-carved from wood with natural pigments and inset glass eyes, the mask has an elongated snout, exposed teeth, crimson accents, charcoal-black markings, and a patinated surface. It is a singular piece with no reproductions, made within a living Guatemalan mask-carving tradition rather than as factory décor.
