Item Details
Description
Donated By: Musack.org

Latin America, Central America, Guatemala, ca. early 20th century CE. An adorable wooden slingshot, hand-carved in the form of a crested bird, with a long curved tail, broad body with wings folded to sides, small feet, an ovoid head with pointed bead and circular eyes, and a six-pronged "head plume" used to secure a sling cord. This "ondilla", which is Spanish for slingshot, is likely made to resemble the quetzal (the national bird of Guatemala). Size: 1.5" L x 0.875" W x 5" H (3.8 cm x 2.2 cm x 12.7 cm); 6" H (15.2 cm) on included custom stand.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.

Making music happen since 2009…

Today, Musack's mission is to give kids and teens a voice through music by providing guitars, drums, and support for music teachers - wherever the need arises.

But back in 2009, Emmy-Award winning writer/producer Donick Cary (Letterman /Simpsons / Parks and Recreation /Silicon Valley) began Musack with a simple vision - raise money to fund musical programs for his hometown high school on Nantucket Island. After a rash of teen suicides on the island, Donick thought about how he and his friends got through their teen years. Music.

Musack continues to make music happen around the world with support from people like you. All lots offered for sale in today’s fundraising auction have been donated by celebrities, non-celebrities, and local businesses. Help us help our kids - bid high, bid often!
