At my request, Anna had gone to the campesino market in Sucre and got me some drop spindles and llama bone beaters called wichuna her in Boivia and ruki in Peru. In the picture on the right you can see a “new” wichuna” after having been boiled and cleaned on the right. The middle one has had some use and is already chaning color from having been handled a lot and the one on the left has taken on a nice dark sheen from many years of use.
