Vintage Guatemalan Blowgun with Shot Bag
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 red string attached. Very handsomely made, and very attractive, we are sure you'll find this an excellent addition to your collection.
