Stirrup spout vessel; a man holding a shirt in front of him
The squatting man seems to be a high-ranking individual, because he wears elaborate earrings, which is always a sign of dignity. These ceramics were produced in series in models. Unfortunately, we do not know what these squatting men have to do with the textiles. Possibly it has to do with a textile sacrifice. The Moche's southern neighbours, the Nazca, sacrificed textiles. In Cahuachi, an important ritual centre of the Nazca, sacrificial pits with numerous textiles were found. Another scholar points that the earrings are typical for a woman. That could also be possible, because most weavers in Ancient Peru seem to have been women. Weaver tools have been mostly found in graves of women and during the Inca empire, women were weaving the precious clothes for the Inca.
