Item Details
Description
South America, Peru, ca. 1900 CE. A large terracotta canopa depicting an alpaca or llama with a hollow body, adorned with an applique depicting another animal, perhaps another camelid. Rather than the near miniature stone variety used as offerings by the Inca to insure fertility and healthy harvest by filling the opening with tallow and burying it in the field, these larger forms were usually placed on top of a home as good luck offerings. Size: 7"L x 5-7/8"H.
