O soše
This Chavín-style Pestle, dated 700–1 BCE, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Its small size suggests grinding pigments or ritual hallucinogenic plants rather than bulky food such as maize. Such substances were used to seek spiritual insight and contact with cosmic powers. The object may come from Pacopampa in Peru’s northern highlands, where elites worshipped Chavín gods alongside local deities. Small sculptures of this kind record the appeal and geographical spread of that religion. On view in room 232 Andean.
Slovy muzea
Size suggests that this Chavín-style pestle was not used to grind bulky staples like corn, but instead pigments or plant hallucinogens used in religious rites to achieve spiritual insight and communion with cosmic forces. This may come from Pacopampa, a site in the northern highlands where elites adopted Chavín deities and worshiped them alongside local deities. These small sculptures illustrate the appeal and the spread of Chavín religion.
