Ancient Artifacts (Chavin Edition)


A Chavin Tribe gold artifact, this was a gold pot. It is unknown what it was for.


A clava from the Chavin. It depicts "nasal discharge associated
with use of hallucinogenic snuff" (from http://susu.xanga.com/697323852/human-sacrifice-cannibalism-and-hallucinogenic-snuff/)
