  • The Uncle. He appears in the background, under colored streamers that were left over from ch'allas of carnival, a clay statue with diabolical airs: he is the Uncle of the mine, the God of belowground. "He sees everything, knows everything, inside the mine the Uncle determines the situation" (Eleazar, miner in Coop Multiactiva Corazón de Jesús.). Between the statue´s lips a worker lights a cigar and lays some coca leaves and alcohol as offerings at his feet.
