A wooden Taino vomiting spatula used for purification by shamans during the “cohoba” ritual (inhalation of a hallucinogenic substance). 1200-1500 CE, from the Dominican Republic, now housed at the Musée du quai Branly in Paris [860×1997]

That’s really neat. I’ve been doing research into the Taino and had heard of these artefacts, but hadn’t ever seen one. Thanks!
Yopo seeds. The hallucinigenic substance is finely ground yopo seeds mixed with lime. The active ingredient is dimethyltryptamine (DMT).
