The Mighty Manchada Hyena moves gracefully on all four limbs. This unique wooden sculpture, crafted by Eleazar, is expertly carved from rectangular blocks of copal. Their piercing gaze evokes a sense of awe and fear. Known for their aggressive pack hunting tactics. Fun fact: hyenas are closely related to the weasel family, adding a touch of eccentricity to their reputation.
