About this Work

Remnants of red pigment are still clearly visible on the head of this female figure. Known for its ceramic arts very little is understood about the culture we refer to as the Ina-Chincha. Named after the two river valleys in Peru where art of this style is found, the culture, while sharing artistic styles and forms, does not appear to have had a centralized government.
