A man with an elaborate ridged hairstyle sits with a hoofed animal slung over his shoulders. Is this a depiction of everyday life, or a scene from Peruvian myth or legend? The animal appears to be a vicuna or perhaps a llama or a deer, creatures still native to the Andes region. It is perhaps a votive sacrifice intended for the gods, or game to be sold at market, or maybe a famous hunter whose name has been forgotten with time. There is a lively, vivid quality to the modeling, a sense of life that connects us directly with that vanished world.
