A beautiful Andean wind instrument, made ceramic to look like a sea shell, which emits a powerful sound when played. The Pututu is a pre-Columbian Musical Instrument from Chavin, a 3,000 years old Peruvian culture, located in the heart of the Andes. According to the chroniclers Garcilaso de la Vega and Montesinos de Ovalle, the pututus were used in the Inti Raymi and Cápac Raymi festivities and after the Haylli song; they were played by young orejones (Inca nobility).
