Yupka - Yuko Indian tobacco smoking pipes

All items were collected  in 1969, during fieldwork among the Yukpa-Yuko Indians of the Serrania de Valledupar-Sierra de Perijá Region of the Colombia and Venezuela border. All items are originals and none were made for the tourist souvenir business (Which did not exist at that time in that remote region. I don’t know if it exists nowadays).

Made by various potters in several villages of the Irapa, Pariri and Socopra groups of the Yukpa-Yuko Indians.
