Paqos and traditional Q’ero use this kind of ch’uspa, a special fur bag made of an alpaca that was miscarried or stillborn. It is used for carrying coca leaves, ceremonial objects, and khuyas which are wrapped in a carrying cloth. This chus’pa is from Gloria Samata Apasa of tiny Yanaruma village in the Hapu Q’eros Nation.
