Rare Inca Wood Foot Plow - Chalki Taklla

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Northern Peru, Inca, ca. 1400 to 1550 CE. Since the ancient Inca farmers had no domesticated animals that were suitable for agricultural work, they relied on manual tools like this Chalki Taklla, a human-powered foot plough, this one with curved elements and a point at the end, the base notched for attachment to a shaft. A rare find, as it is unusual for wooden implements to survive the tests of time except in very dry climates. Size: 5.75" L x 3.75" W (14.6 cm x 9.5 cm)

See last image for how this was/is used.

Provenance: Ex-private Colorado Springs, CO collection; ex-private Washington D.C. collection.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
