Taíno Figurine

COHOBA: Cohoba was the most popular deity among the Taíno. The plate atop his head was used to prepare the hallucinogenic substance known as cohoba which was inhaled during his rites. The Rite of Cohoba allowed the Taíno to communicate with their gods.

Indigenous Taíno people were the largest group inhabiting the Caribbean islands at the time of European contact in 1492. Their territory extended from Venezuela to Florida including the Bahamas, being Cuba, La Hispañola and Puerto Rico the most populated territories. By 1550 the Taíno were almost extinct due to illnesses brought to their territories by Spanish colonizers, however, their art and vocabulary survived being kept alive by ‘mestizo’ descendants.

CLAY FIGURINES
