Vintage 1960's Tarahumara Violin Mexico w/Bow Handmade Pine Mexican

Description

This auction features a
Vintage 1960's Authentic Tarahumara Violin made in Mexico.  These were made of Pine and were made unvarnished.  This one includes the Original Bow.  Made in the later 1960's or early 1970's.   From the web:
"Native Tarahumara violins have an unusual tradition of being used by the Tarahumara Indians in their ceremonies. Unlike other American Indian instruments, violins are an odd but integral part of Tarahumara culture. Each violin is made by hand using yellow pine. While not to be compared with fine violins, these have real violin strings, and horse hair bow and can actually be played just as the Tarahumara do.
A rustic instrument made by primitive people using hand tools, these violins may have imperfections and blemishes and are the identical Native Instruments used by the musicians during some of the most important festivals and ceremonies in which the famous Matachines dance. For a music teacher, musician or music lover, these unique Tarahumara violins are interesting cultural instruments for collecting."
I am a beginning violinist and I have not been able to get it to play. It appears to need some work / adjustments, or use it as a wonderful decoration.  There is a tight age hairline crack down the entire backside and some ink, see last pic. The bow uses wire, not horse hair. The colorful red cotton ribbon came with it.
Both measure 24" long.
