Mochica Peru — Peru-70

Ceramics are the most important witness which the Peruvian cultures have left to us. They are constituted mostly of funeral offerings placed around the defunct body. The funeral cult of the ancient Peruvians is related to a universal belief in an after-life, or immortality of the soul or projection of the vital force beyond death.
