Description
Painted Reliefs on the eroded southern wall of Building B/C.
Huaca de la Luna, Trujillo, Peru.
To create the reliefs featuring the Moche god, Ai Apaec, Moche artists first sketched vertical lines, some 170 centimeters apart, on the walls. Next, they drew diagonal lines forming rhombi in which they placed the disembodied face of the god. The faces are framed by bands of interlocking, geometric forms resembling serpents. In triangles above and below the god's image, artists placed smaller versions of the god, with appendages emerging below the face terminating in profile bird heads.
