The ethnic group was decimated with the arrival of the Europeans, due to illnesses and forced labor. Collectible piece of ancient and very rare archeology in the spirit of cabinets of curiosities. In its own juice with traces of seniority and wear, the photos are an integral part of the description. Pink color.
