These canopas, which are mentioned in colonial documents, were
were filled with llama or alpaca fat and buried in sacred places (huacas). They
were often offered to the mother earth Pachamama or the god of the llamas Wamani (Kurella and
de Castro) and were still in use centuries after the conquest (Schindler).
Similar objects are still laid down in fields today. As the circumstances of their discovery are uncertain,
the date (Late Horizon) is only a possible date. The container was
hollowed out extensively on the inside. Similar stone vessels from the Gretzer Collection, which are attributed to the
Inca culture, can be found in the Ethnological Museum Berlin, among others from
Ocucaje (SMB, inv. no. V A 44703).
