Guatemalan artisan Manuel Delfino first learned the woodworking craft from his father and now dedicates his life to broadening the styles of the Antigua Guatemala community. Here, Manuel carves this cheery, festive monkey figurine from pinewood, hand-painting a tropical floral motif over blue. Dense with color and charm, this monkey radiates positivity and energy.
