Snuff tray with the depiction of two felids and a mirror
Such snuff trays are very common throughout the northern and central Andean region and are made of different materials. This one has a hole so that it could be worn around the neck with a cord. As decoration it has two felids sitting opposite each other. On the tray is a cut stone, fixed with resin. It could have been used to snort ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic drug from the Amazon, or yayé, a mixture of different drugs that also produce hallucinations. In pre-Hispanic times, the use of such drugs was strictly limited to religious dignitaries who, with their help, went into a trance in order to be able to contact the gods.
