This remarkable bone quena flute is a handcrafted ceremonial piece, rich in ancestral symbolism and artisan detail. Created from a real bone, it stands as a powerful example of traditional Andean craftsmanship—more spiritual relic than musical tool.

Its surface has aged naturally into a soft yellowish tone, the result of time’s silent work on the organic material. The front of the quena features a stylized human face, framed by geometric and symbolic carvings, suggesting that this flute may have belonged to a healer, shaman, or revered community figure. These engravings are not just ornamental—they echo a world where instruments held sacred meaning.

Though it still maintains the structure of a playable quena, this piece is not intended for modern music. Instead, it invites connection—with the past, with spirit, and with art. Holding it in your hands, you can feel the presence of those who lived before, as if this bone carries the memory of the person it once belonged to.

Collectors of tribal and pre-Columbian artifacts
