This handmade circular pencil holder features the two figures on the arms of the Young Lord statue. The figures are being sacrificed as evidenced by their tied limbs and soul/life force exiting their bodies through their feet. Human sacrifice was a common practice in Mesoamerica up until the 16th century. Although the practice took on various forms across time and space, captured prisoners of war were most commonly used as sacrificial victims.
This bag was made using three different stitching techniques and is roughly the size of a soda can. If you're curious about how this was made, we have a youtube video detailing the whole manufacturing process. Pili's Channel
