Yekuana Indians [more about the Yekuana Indians]
The Yekuana (Yeh-qua-nah) Indians are a very traditional tribe living along the riverbanks in the Amazon rain forest in Venezuela. They are an extremely talented people mastering the arts of basketry, wood carving, and making and hunting with blowguns.
These weapons were hand carved from one piece of wood by the Yekuana Indians. They were once used in warfare and are now used for ritual and religious ceremonies. They are finely carved, finished, and decorated with a hand woven cover.
