They use them to bring home the occasional squirrel, bird, monkey, opossum, snake, lizard, and even armadillo are hunted with slingshots. Any animal unfortunate to find itself in range is a likely target. I collect slingshots. M ayan weaving is formal. Each village has a particular pattern and creativity is limited.
Saints vary less than weaving.
Slingshots are made in whatever comes to mind of the maker, usually the man who will hunt with it. N ot to say that slingshots are a superior art form, but the fact that they are made to please no one but the maker himself appeals to me. This is a small sample of my collection.
