在古代，这种奇妙的风格化容器被用作研钵。 平衡的螺旋尾部由绿褐色石灰石雕刻成美洲虎的形状，工艺精湛，展现了瓦尔迪维亚艺术家在石雕方面的高超技艺。方形头部张开大嘴，露出两排尖牙，立方体身体两侧刻有线性细节，用四条短腿站立，前面有钻孔悬挂。顶部有一个浅矩形凹陷，用于辅助制备致幻鼻烟，巫师吸入鼻烟以促进与精神世界的互动。 在恍惚状态中，萨满可以进入无形的世界并吸收被召唤动物的美德。
乔雷拉文明是太平洋海岸形成时期的第三阶段，也是最后阶段，其特点是艺术创造力与精湛的石雕工艺相结合。艺术家们从周围的动植物中汲取灵感。 虽然这个容器的碗内有一些细小的划痕，但它似乎并没有得到广泛的使用。这个特别优雅的版本可能是专门为殡葬而制作的，因此可能只使用过一次，里面装着刚制作好的鼻烟，供已故的巫师带入灵界。
