This is a ceramic bottle almost 3000 years old, a fine example of funerary art from the Formative Period of the Central Andean Region. The bottle portrays two half-faces: the left half is a feline face with fangs. The right half is a human face; a snake goes through the nose, and the eyebrow flows to the ear and becomes the head of a deer, which is the animal that represents the life taken by the jaguar and offered in sacrifice. The feline face refers to the earthly plane, while the human face with the snake and deer is linked to the inner world. In the early religious art of the Andes, personages with feline traits, like wrinkles on the face and large teeth are portrayed. The priests of this time consumed the San Pedro cactus juice that had hallucinogenic effects, and this consumption generated transcendent experiences that included their transformation in animals with special powers, such as the jaguar. Thus, having the attributes of these powerful animals, they could intermediate between the earthly plane, the upper world and the inner world. This would explain the representation of possible portraits of shamans gradually acquiring Jaguar traits in Cupisnique art. (UH)

Esta es una botella de cerámica de casi 3000 a?os de antigüedad, fino exponente del arte funerario de la época formativa. En el cuerpo de la botella se pueden distinguir dos rostros parciales: la mitad de la izquierda es un rostro de felino, con colmillos. La mitad de la derecha es un rostro humano de cuya nariz sale una serpiente, y cuya oreja se transforma en la cabeza de un venado. El rostro felínico hace alusión al plano terrestre, mientras que el rostro antropomorfo está vinculado al mundo interior, tanto por la serpiente como por el venado, que es el animal que representa la vida que el jaguar toma, y que se ofrece en sacrificio. En las religiones de la época Formativa aparecen personajes con rasgos del felino, como las arrugas en el rostro y las bocas con grandes colmillos. Los sacerdotes de esta época consumían el jugo del cactus San Pedro, que tenía efectos alucinógenos, y este consumo les generaba la experiencia trascendente de transformación en animales con poderes especiales, como el jaguar. De esta manera, teniendo los poderes de estos animales, ellos podían intermediar entre el plano terrenal, el mundo superior y el mundo interior. Ello explicaría la representación de posibles retratos de chamanes que adquieren gradualmente rasgos faciales del jaguar en el arte Cupisnique.(UH)
