Manchada Hyena
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.

The beauty of this item: In two decades, we've only had one other artist create a hyena. This one is the biggest and most authentically sculpted. Each muscle mimics a stalking motion, leaving a lasting impression from any viewpoint.
