Site:  Nasca
Clados Number:  376
Culture:  Nasca
Description:  bottle, C-12075, M.N.A.A.H.-Lima.
Chronological Era:  Early Intermediate Period (EIP), Nasca 7 Phase.
Iconographic Features:  one of the most outstanding Nasca 7 battle scenes. Four elaborately costumed warriors hold feather staffs, spears and carrying cords. They carry parts of the equipment of defeated warriors (headdress, loincloth). One warrior carries a trophy head hanging from a carrying cord. They are surrounded by headless corpses, products of the battle that included decapitation, and by spears, fans and loincloths (of the victims) as well as by (Rayed) Faces with “Snake Eyes”. At the center of the battle a trophy (head) rack (with two trophy heads) is depicted. A descending Wari Stinger Animal holding a trophy head is depicted on the bridge, maybe attacking the (victorious) warriors (divine intervention). Trophy (head) racks depicted on the neck of the bottle. They as well as the Wari Stinger Animal are part of the main scene.
