Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino de Santiago de Chile
Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino de Santiago de Chile submitted by davidmorgan : These remarkable wooden statues were placed on top of tombs in ancient Mapuche cemeteries. They reflect the spirit (am) of those buried there and are intended to assist them in their journey to the afterlife. Chiefs and great warriors were sent to the east after death, to roam among the volcanoes of Kalfumapu, the "blue land". All others went to the west, to eat bitter potatoes beyond the sea.

The museum is housed in the late colonial era Real Casa de Aduana at Bandera 361 in central Santiago (Chile) just a block from the Plaza de Armas. It contains a large collection of pre-Colombian artefacts from across South America including a number of figurines.
