This decorative piece forms the lower part of a coca bag, called chuspa. Llamas running one after the other are shown in several horizontal rows, changing direction with each row. The motif is a reference to the llama caravans that brought coca leaves, an important part of religious rituals, from the warm valleys of the eastern Andes to the highlands.
