Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino de Santiago de Chile submitted by davidmorgan on 4th Aug 2019. 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.
