In the drawings of Guaman Poma de Ayala, a chronicler of the Inca Empire from the 17th century, messengers of the Incas carry such bags with them. They probably used the performance-enhancing, blood circulation-promoting effect of coca leaves. The enclosed edges of the bag clearly assign them to the Inca culture.
