![]() ![]() Large numbers of portrait heads have been found in the graves. They are thought to represent secular and religious dignitaries. The naturalistic representations of human faces are unique to the Moche culture of Peru. The face has a painted pattern in the centre.

This Vessel is in the shape of a human head, almost half of the natural size of an actual head.
