this he places a small pebble; the pebble represents the baby, the larger and hollow stone, the
cradle.

Once a year, during the dry season, the Bolivian and
Peruvian mountain Indian drives his herd down to the
distant villages and towns, where he trades his pottery
and beautifully-woven goods for necessaries of life, which
are unobtainable in his inhospitable native regions.
