This looks like a clay model of an Earth animal that chased me up a tree on one of my adventures. I think it was called a Puma. I nearly had to use the stun gun on it. |

It is indeed a pottery head of a Puma used by Peruvians who lived in the high Andes mountains. It was part of a ceremonial drinking vessel. Peruvians respected the power and ferocity of the Puma - I'm sure you would agree with that after your experience with one. |

Yes definitely! There are powerful and beautiful animals. |
