RARE Authentic Pre-Inca Huaracas (Slingshots)
22 March 2025
Description

RARE Authentic Pre-Inca Huaracas (Slingshots) These three authentic Pre-Inca Huaracas (traditional slingshots)β€”possibly from the Nazca civilization, dating back to 1000–1200 A.D.β€” Huaracas were essential tools used by ancient Pre-Columbian peoples in both hunting and warfare. Crafted with precision and deep cultural symbolism, they reflect the ingenuity and spirit of ancient civilizations in the Andes. πŸ’Ž Provenance: These heirloom artifacts have been in my family for decades. Originally from Peru, they were passed from my grandfather to my brother in the early 1970s while he was living in Houston. After my brother later moved to Austin, the pieces eventually came to me. While I do not have official documentation, collectors are welcome to have them authenticated by a professional. Expertly mounted in a high-quality museum display frame – πŸ“ Dimensions: 27x20 inches πŸ“Œ Condition: Artifacts are in very good vintage condition, showing only minimal expected wear from age.
