La yunta, Bronze sculpture at Paseo de los Héroes Navales, Peru
La Yunta is a bronze sculpture in central Lima depicting a farmer with two oxen and a plough. The work measures approximately 220 cm wide and occupies a prominent place in the city center.
The Chinese community gifted this bronze sculpture to Lima in 1937 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city's Spanish foundation. The work represents an important historical connection between the city and the Chinese diaspora.
The sculpture represents traditional farming methods and the importance of oxen in rural Peru, serving as a tribute to agricultural labor. It stands as a reminder of practices that shaped the country's rural communities.
The sculpture is located at Paseo de los Héroes Navales and is freely accessible in the city center. It sits near other monuments and is easy to reach on foot.
The sculpture underwent restoration work in 2020 to preserve its surface and maintain its place in the urban landscape. This conservation effort reflects the work's importance to the city.
