| Description |
While Chavín held sway in the highlands, coastal artists produced many objects in non-Chavín styles. Such is the case with these small, finely-carved, stone containers, which were part of north coast ritual paraphernalia, though their specific use in unclear. Both bear complex designs based on fanged heads in profile that lack lower jaws. |
