| Title |
Vessel with Abstract Heads |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
Late Nasca supernatural depictions became abstract, detailed, and focused on the head. In this vessel's central register, for instance, a deity is reduced to two mask-like faces, edged by volutes and linked by tongues; the only remains of a body are the hands. The lower register carries a similar image, and the upper register, severed human heads. |
