^Lot 1112 Group of Aymara Andean Carved Wooden Ritual Items incl. Tinka Chicha Bowl with Yoked Animals

Group of traditional Aymara carved wooden ceremonial objects from the Andean region of Bolivia, including a Tinka chicha ritual bowl featuring a pair of carved, yoked animals (oxen/cattle) inside the vessel - a symbolic motif representing unity, abundance, and reciprocity in marriage and communal libation ceremonies. The bowl is carved from a single piece of hardwood with a dark, aged patina from long ritual use.

The group also includes additional hand-carved wooden implements typical of Andean and Amazonian domestic and ceremonial traditions: a boat-shaped trough or mortar, a round grinding dish, and a small handheld carved tool. All pieces show tool marks, wear, and surface patina consistent with early to mid-20th-century indigenous craftsmanship.
