Ancient Artifacts (Nazca Edition)
Ancient Artifacts (Paracas Edition)
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/)It's a Tiwanaku ceramic vessel. Looks like a bust of someone. Really creepy cleft.
The Final item, a "Chavin effigy vessel" (from http://newsgrist.typepad.com/robertgoldwaterlibrary/auctions/)
