The warrior wears a club head as headgear. On his chest a severed human leg and a severed head can be seen. Human sacrifices were offered to ask for rain and fertility. The victims were often noble warriors who competed against each other in ritual duels. Representations of such sacrificial rituals are found in one of the precursor cultures of the Huari on the coast, the Moche. They depicted such sacrificial rituals on their painted ceramics. The archaeological evidence for this was found at one of the main archaeological sites of the Moche culture, the moon pyramid, Huaca de la Luna, near today's Peruvian city of Trujillo. However, in other cultures, Nazca for example, captives of the war opponent seem to have been sacrificed.
