介绍（中）	像这样的小托盘或药片通过管道吸入的鼻烟在南美洲的柱前地区很普遍。在智利北部的圣佩德罗-德阿塔卡马地区，人们在墓葬中发现了大量的鼻烟托盘和其他用具，如吸气管、抹刀、小研钵和杵，以及鼻烟粉容器。鼻烟是由植物的叶子、树脂和种子制成的，其中许多都是致幻的，经过干燥和精细研磨。历史和当前的数据表明，鼻烟在安第斯山脉有很多用途：它被用来治疗各种疾病，缓解疼痛和饥饿，在战争和狩猎中提供警觉性，以及在仪式和宗教仪式中引起恍惚。托盘的一端装饰着三个雕刻的人物。在另一端是一个本土修复的遗迹，这是一个防止分裂的纽带，沿着托盘的长度延伸，防止扩大。
介绍（英）	Snuff inhaled through tubes from small trays or tablets such as this one was a widespread practice in Precolumbian South America. In the San Pedro de Atacama region of northern Chile a large number of snuff trays have been found in burials in association with other paraphernalia, such as inhaling tubes, spatulas, small mortars and pestles, and snuff-powder containers. The snuff was prepared from the leaves, resin, and seeds of plants, many of them hallucinogenic, which were dried and finely ground. Historic and current data suggest that snuff had many purposes in the Andes: it was used to cure various ailments, to alleviate pain and hunger, to provide alertness in war and hunting, and to induce trances during rituals and religious ceremonies. The tray is decorated at one end with three carved figures. At the opposite end are the remains of an indigenous repair, a tie preventing a split, running the length of the tray, from widening.
