Bands of colour and shapes around the face organize the composition. Looking at the whole and then its details reveals the relationship between painted areas and relief.
Historical and archaeological context
Museo Larco associates Nasca art with Peru’s southern coast and presents colourful ceramics depicting natural and supernatural beings. This reference encourages questions about composition and colour (Museo Larco, s. f.)
The offered work is a contemporary handmade creation. The cultural reference does not identify it with the museum object or make every detail a reproduction of a specific archaeological find.
