We purchased this piece in Guatemala a couple of decades ago. At around 6 feet long, and 2" wide, this blowgun came with some lead shot, since lost, but it retains the shot-pouch and three empty bullet casings that were attached as decoration (which were also used, perhaps, in the shaping of the projectile for the blowgun. While there is a slight curve in the blowgun, this not very pronounced, and the entire piece can no doubt become straight with time. There is a handmade site of rubber with... Click for details

Here we offer a very handsome example of a 'gigante' head, used in, and during, certain festivals and parades in Guatemala, often as the head of a 'giant' comprised of two men under a large cloak or cape. We're not sure if this head was actually used as such, though it seems it may have been. Purchased in Guatemala over 20 years ago, this is one of the last of two dozen in the collection to be let go.
This piece measures just under one foot tall.
