Nasca Ceramic Glasses

These elongated glasses - with geometric designs loaded with symbolism such as rungs, circles, trophy heads, stars, chevrons, wavy lines, chakanas and other geometric lines that refer to mountains and water - were used in rituals where toasts with chicha or other sacred liquids were toasted. During these ceremonies, social bonds and commitments were established.
