#chapina

Iñaki is half Chapina.

Chapín is a slang word for to refer to Guatemalans like how Yankee is used to refer to Americans.

Since I did two pieces with Anne and Sebastian wearing traditional Scottish clothing, here's one with Iñaki with traditional Guatemalan clothing 😁

Hermoso amanecer, vista de volcanes, mirador y lago.

Hermosa naturaleza bendita de mi bello país.

What a very beautiful and traditional, handmade silver panel bangle bracelet from La República de Guatemala! This very pretty bracelet was masterfully handcrafted with beautifully etched folkloric images on a bed of rich black oxidized silver depicting Maya deity warriors and the resplendent quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala that represents liberty.

Six of the seven hinged panels have a warrior deity, the ones on the left face to the right, the ones on the right face to the left, and the center panel contains the image of a single quetzal in all of its magnificent glory.

This remarkably artistic bangle bracelet has a 2 3/8-inch rolo-link safety chain for added security, an undisturbed, natural patina, and shows minor signs of wear consistent with its age that are undetectable to the casual observer. This gorgeous silver bracelet is a very authentic and intentional statement of rich Guatemalan cultural heritage and pride when worn!
