Description: A chuspa (Quechua for bag) is a bag used to transport coca and cocoa leaves, used mainly in the Andean region.These chuspas are a vital piece of Andean culture and are especially important because their content is used to combat the cold in the mountainous areas of the Andes. These bags are also a way to display the designs used, which in itself is a primary artistic medium. Highland textiles are traditionally woven from the hair of native camelids, generally domesticated alpacas and llamas, and more rarely, wild vicua and guanaco. These bags are important symbols of social identity. As part of this tradition, the chuspas show the rest of their people how skilled they are at weaving. They can express their artistic abilities and show their cultural affiliation by creating these chuspas. . Mesuare 10 x 6
