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.
