Description

Known as "canopas," these small stone vessels are one of the most common ritual effigies known from the Inca Empire. Canopas typically depicts camelids like llamas or alpacas, however this rare example boasts a minimalist avian head with drilled eyes and a short conical beak protruding from the rounded head. Size: 1.3" W x 1.8" H (3.3 cm x 4.6 cm).
