Possible antique Andean/Amazonian ceremonial flute – looking for information/value

I’m trying to learn more about this old handmade flute/instrument and whether it may have collector value.

From the research I’ve done so far, it appears to be an Andean or Amazonian ceremonial/folk instrument. It is hand carved, functional, and decorated with natural traditional materials.

The piece shows clear signs of age and craftsmanship and does not appear to be a modern mass-produced souvenir.

I would appreciate any information about:

• possible origin or culture
• approximate age
• authenticity
• collector value
