Description
Camelid figure elaborated in Spondylus, a mollusk that lives in the Ecuadorian coast. Like the human figures of silver, these miniatures were used for ritual purposes as an offering in various parts of the empire. This specimen was deposited in the ceremony of the capacocha of the child of El Plomo hill, in Santiago de Chile.
