Research Remarks

Published Description

A standard-sized quenpo from the Conibo village of Caimito recorded in late September, 1967. The shape conformation is excellent, but the design is unusual in that the artist, Bidi Rama, has completely omitted the fine-line work. -- Donald W. Lathrap, from the book Ethnic and Tourist Arts.
