Kuna Uchu

250. A very rare group of tiny Kuna Uchu or Nuchu (healing dolls) these remind me of European ‘poppets’ which are (sometimes) tiny wooden figures used in witchcraft. These may have been used as the more often found larger figures were or could have been divination objects? probably mid 20th century. The largest is 4cm tall.

Kuna, San Blas Islands.
