📖 The Sacred Taste of Abundance

Coming from the ancient Chavín culture, this sculptural ceramic bottle represents, with great agricultural symbolism, the shape of a fruit split into two halves: one still protected by its textured peel and the other, already peeled, revealing its interior. This duality symbolizes the cycles of nature, fertility, and abundance, which were pillars of Chavín religious thought.

The body of the vessel features carefully modeled geometric reliefs that reproduce the texture of the rind, contrasting with the smoothness of the peeled side, as if revealing the inner mystery of the fruit. The cream tones with earthy undertones, coupled with the patina and wear visible on the base, reinforce its ceremonial character and the imprint of time.

These bottles not only served as containers but were also used in ritual contexts, where the fertility of the earth and sacred fruits were essential offerings. Today, this piece embodies the spirit of abundance and the profound bond between humans and nature in the Chavín worldview.
