介绍（中）	在安第斯山脉南部，通过管道从小托盘或药片中吸入的鼻烟很常见，那里的致幻剂使用很普遍。木制鼻烟托盘一端有一个浅的矩形空腔，另一端有人类或动物图案或两者的结合。据推测，这块鼻烟片来自圣佩德罗·德·阿塔卡马地区，其整体形式与阿塔卡马的作品一致，但其风格特征与更北部的地区有关。它饰有开放式格子，顶部是一种被称为"月亮动物"的蹲着的生物，与秘鲁中部高地的雷夸伊艺术有关。从动物的头顶，它有一双又大又圆的眼睛，张开的嘴向下延伸出一个流动的鬃毛状附属物，有两个大的卷曲，与圆形的尾巴相接。这只动物巨大的前爪中有一个奖杯般的头。尽管阿塔卡马鼻烟托盘上常见奖杯头像，但这种托盘可能是该地区的进口产品，而不是当地的变体在智利北部的阿塔卡马地区，人们在墓葬中发现了浓度最高的木制鼻烟托盘，以及其他用具，如吸气管、抹刀、小研钵和杵，以及鼻烟粉容器。鼻烟由各种植物的叶子、树脂和种子制成，经过干燥和精细研磨，用于治疗各种疾病，缓解与高海拔地区相关的疼痛和疾病，在战争和狩猎中提供警觉性，并在仪式和仪式中诱导恍惚。
介绍（英）	Snuff inhaled through tubes from small trays or tablets was common in the southern Andes where hallucinogen use was widespread. Wooden snuff trays have a shallow rectangular cavity at one end and human or animal motifs or a combination of both at the other. This snuff tablet is presumed to have come from the San Pedro de Atacama area and its overall form is consistent with Atacama works, but stylistic features relate it to more northern areas. Embellished with open latticework topped by a crouching creature known as the "moon animal," it is associated with the art of Recuay in central highland Peru. From the top of the animal's head—it has big, round eyes and a gaping mouth—descends a flowing, manelike appendage with two large curls that meet the rounded-up tail. The animal holds a trophy head in its massive front paws. Although trophy head imagery is common on Atacama snuff trays, this tray may be an import into the region rather than a local variant. In the Atacama region of northern Chile, the highest concentration of wooden snuff trays has been found in burials in association with other paraphernalia, such as inhaling tubes, spatulas, small mortars and pestles, and snuff powder containers. The snuff, prepared from leaves, resin, and seeds of various plants dried and finely ground, was used to cure various ailments, to alleviate pain and conditions associated with high altitudes, to provide alertness in war and hunting, and to induce trances during rituals and ceremonies.
