Description :

A vibrant, hand‑painted wooden chest purchased directly from Venta de Artesanías Zayda in 2009. The exterior features a carved and painted high‑relief village scene with houses, trees, hills, and pathways rendered in warm earth tones and lush greens. The lid lifts to reveal a clean, unfinished interior suitable for storage or display.

This piece reflects the distinctive folk art traditions of Guatemala, where small workshops and individual artisans produce carved wooden boxes as both functional objects and expressive cultural craft. The included original receipt documents the maker’s shop, date of purchase, and item description, adding helpful provenance for collectors.


A colorful, character‑rich example of Central American folk craftsmanship with documented origin.


Dimensions : 24 in L x 13 in W x 12 in H
