Each of these masterpieces has been hand-carved using traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation, and then painted with fine detail to mimic the animals that inhabit the biodiversity of the Maya biosphere. The creation process of these pieces begins with hand carving in wood, followed by a careful curing process in an artisanal oven to ensure their durability and resistance. They are then graphically painted with aniline dyes for wood, giving them vibrant and long-lasting colors that further enhance their beauty. Each of these pieces is unique in its design and represents an important part of Guatemala's rich cultural heritage.
