A Mayan midwife is realized in cedar atop a pinewood base. Guatemalan artist Nicolas Chavez Sojuel hand-carves this sculpture, detailing the midwife’s elaborate jewelry and headdress. She sits with legs crossed, a child held close to her breast. For the artist, this sculpture presents a view of quotidian Mayan life, as the midwives would often take their children along with them as they worked. 3.0 lbs 13.5″ H x 6.5″ W x 7.25″ D Metric US/Imperial Cedar, pinewood Hand-crafted item — color, size and/or motif may vary slightly Made in Guatemala.
