Artist: Aj Canil Family

Origin: Chichicastenango, Guatemala

Material: Hand-carved wood, natural pigments, glass eyes

In the highland traditions of Guatemala, the coyote is a creature of wit, wildness, and transformation. Neither predator nor prey, it occupies a symbolic space between worlds — clever, elusive, and forever adaptive. This hand-carved ceremonial mask captures that liminal nature with remarkable presence. The elongated snout, flared teeth, and glass-inset eyes express a character alive with knowing mischief. Crimson highlights trace the ears and mouth, while charcoal-black markings dance across a soft patinated surface, echoing the ritual energy of festival firelight.

Crafted by the Aj Canil family of Chichicastenango, this is more than an animal mask — it is a carved embodiment of survival and story, shaped by hand and shaped by myth.
