La yunta, also known as El trabajo or Los bueyes, is a bronze sculpture in the Paseo de los Héroes Navales, Lima, Peru. [1] [2] [3]
The sculpture represents the moment in which a farmer works the land with two yoked oxen and a plough. It is an indigenous motif that was commissioned by the Chinese colony in Peru, together with the sculpture Las llamas by Agustín Rivera, as a gift to the city of Lima for the fourth centenary of the Spanish foundation of Lima. [4] [5]
It was located on the Paseo de la República in 1937, although successive reforms of the place made it lose the pedestal. [1]
On April 24, 2018, the sculptures of the Paseo de los Héroes Navales, including Las Llamas, were declared the Cultural heritage of Peru by the Ministry of Culture. [6] [7]
