San Pedro Cactus

Thought you guys might like this authentic ceremonial cup from Chavin de Huantar


First pic is the cup depicting a jaguar head, it is thought that in Chavin culture people who took part in the ritual and drank the mescaline beverage believed they transformed into a jaguar. Hence the many art objects depicting this animal.

Second picture is a reproduction of the Raimondi Steele made by a friend. The Raimondi Steele is perhaps the most famous piece of art from Chavin de Huantar.

Third picture is the certificate of the cup with some more information.
