“This vessel shows a swimming sea lion, an animal commonly found on islands in the Pacific Ocean close to Peru. Apart from being an important source of food for Andean people, sea lions commonly swallow beach pebbles, which they later vomit up. These stones were considered to have powerful medicinal qualities, and could be ground to make herbal remedies in ancient Peru.”

Day 26 -- Effigy
Among the superstitious of Stag's Run, the act of throwing a representation of oneself into a body of water was thought to prevent waterborne catastrophes from befalling travelers. These 'drowning dolls' were often sold in seaside towns as macabre souvenirs.
