Nicola Sharratt examines the cultural and historical significance of the chuspa, a small woven bag used for carrying coca leaves in the Andean region. Through a detailed analysis of archaeological specimens and contemporary weaving practices, the volume explores how these textiles serve as enduring markers of identity, social status, and ritual practice within indigenous communities.
