Wonderfully Inquitive Old Carved Guatemalan Folk Art Figure in Polychrome pictoral I'd guess made of cigar

I'd guess made of cigar box wood or similarly salvaged bits

late 1960s-70s

with a couple of rim chips as documented

each iteration is very much its own special thing reflective of the stills

" the latter I believe the name of its maker

Wonderfully Inquitive Old Carved Guatemalan Folk Art Figure in Polychrome pictoral I'd guess made of cigarThis guy also came from an estate sale in Saratoga, NY the home of a peace corps worker and world traveller, who spent a lot of time in central and south America. I believe this carving is Guatemalan, and definitely has good age to it, carved of wood with polychrome. He looks very much like an inquisitive traveller to me, perhaps a long wandering pilgrim on a mission. Wonderful face, wonderful green paint, and especially wonderful large hands! 10 7 8"
