Chuspa - Medicine bag

Chuspas are traditional small bags woven by the Quechua Indians, including the Q'ero, an indigenous community in the Peruvian Andes. These bags have a rich history and great cultural significance.

Origin and use
Chuspas are mainly used in the Andes to transport the sacred coca leaves. Coca plays an important role in ceremonies and offerings to the divine. The chuspas are used by shamans in various ways such as in rituals, ceremonies, healing treatments (soul retrieval) to carry various sacred objects and of course to store coca leaves. Chuspas are not only practical, but also a symbol of identity and cultural heritage.

Design and glossary.
Each cuspa is unique and decorated with patterns and colors that have specific meanings. The patterns can represent elements of nature, ancestral tales or symbols of protection. Weaving is a skill that is passed down from generation to generation and creates a link to ancestors and traditions.

History
The use of chuspas dates back to pre-Columbian times. Chroniclers such as the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega and Huamán Poma de Ayala mentioned chuspas in their writings from the 17th century1. These bags were and have been an integral part of the daily and spiritual life of the Andean peoples for centuries.
