Légende
Bowl with Costumed Being, 100 BC-700. Supernatural figures like the one on this bowl are shown wearing ornaments that actually exist-like the nearby Mouth Mask-they may represent humans clothed as deities who served as living cult images during rituals. The figure holds a severed head that probably alludes to capture of an enemy?s life force, since severed heads and fertility are linked in Nasca art.
