Temple model
The temple model probably comes from the Chimú capital Chan Chan. It reproduces two rooms, the upper part of which is decorated with a band of step fret motifs in mother-of-pearl. In the moon pyramid (Huaca de la Luna), a sacred site next to Chan Chan, two comparable models were found, which were still equipped with figures. One recreates a funeral ritual, the other a religious ritual with musicians.
