Description
A faithful new version of a naive drawing detail of a fine beaker in gold, ca AD 1000, found in the beginning of the 20the century in an ancient grave in the coastal province of Lambayeque, Peru.
An image of a warrior with an ornamental crown, a vandyked tunic and large ear-plugs. He�s holding in his left hand a spear, similar to a rattle-staf or chicauaztli, carried by the Mexican deity Xipe. In his right hand is a circular shield with toothed border, above which rises an object with a design somewhat resembling a conventional fish-face surmounted by a crown, and below, what might be the pole, to which this fish-standard is attached. The hand of the figure shows 4 fingers, and each foot 3 toes.
The Sican (also Sic�n) culture is the name that archaeologist Izumi Shimada gave to the culture that inhabited what is now the north coast of Peru between about AD 750 and 1375. According to Shimada, Sican means �temple of the moon�. The Sican culture is also referred to as Lambayeque culture, after the name of the region in Peru. It succeeded the Moche culture. There is still controversy among archeologists and anthropologists over whether the two are separate cultures.
