In ancient times as today, the llama was invaluable to the people of the Andes. Sure-footed on narrow mountain trails, it was prized as a beast of burden. Its wool provided warm clothing against the cold mountain air. During ancient times, llamas were a status symbol for Peruvians. In this charming vessel, a kneeling llama is laden with a saddlebag. Centuries ago, it was created to follow its owner on the winding path through eternity.
