Large Scale 19th Century Guatemalan Carved Wood Diablo (Satyr Figure)

Striking 19th-century Guatemalan large scale (52 inches tall) carved wood figure of a Diablo or satyr, rendered in bold red pigment with expressive features, pointed horns, and animal-like ears and hooves. This primitive depiction of the devil reflects the fusion of indigenous and colonial folk traditions, often used in village festivals and religious dramas. A powerful and rare example of Guatemalan folk sculpture, rich with character and patina. One hoof missing.
