This item is a contemporary sling made out of trii-colored Camelid fibres and woven with a split pouch and decorative leads. The sling is complete and in new condition. I purchased this sling from a German antiquity dealer living in La Paz, Bolivia in 2004 It was sold as vintage, but the technology is similar to contemporary slings made in Peru. It is very robust and functional with a finger loop and tuft on other end. I would use this sling to hunt small game with ammo similar in size to a golf ball. Very nice.

Length = 175 cm ; Weight = 54 gm
