This man is a maestro at relief carving of intricate ancient Mayan scenes. I'd love to have a table or headboard of one of his carvings. Tal vez proximo tiempo. ( Maybe next time)
Toting your furniture around on a handcart to sell it is standard procedure in this part of Mexico. This side-by-side wardrobe was 3500 pesos...about $240 USD. It was made from cedar and beautifully finished. If I hadn't just gotten done sanding and staining a chest of drawers from Home Depot I would have been all over this! The other object is a little kids chair in a Little Mermaid print. Too much.
How would you like to come out of any of these doors on a dark night?
This is a kiln at one of the pottery workshops.
Here is a cool sculpture in the town square, or zocalo, of Ticul. Since one of the main industries is making beautiful pottery, I think it's apropos.
