Chavin Stone Carved Double Beaker

The Chavin Stone Carved Double Beaker is an ancient ceremonial vessel originating from the Chavín culture of the Central Andes, dating approximately 900, 200 BCE. Characterized by intricate low-relief carving featuring anthropomorphic and zoomorphic imagery consistent with the Chavín horizon style, these double beakers served ritual and prestige functions within complex theocratic societies. They represent some of the earliest sophisticated stone-working traditions in pre-Columbian South America.
