The Moche people who inhabited the north coast of Peru between approximately 100 and 800 AD created the most elaborate system of iconographic representation of any ancient Peruvian culture. This book raises the analysis of Moche iconography to a level through a study of visual representations of rituals involving sex, death, and sacrifice.
