More About This Product

The Nazca region is located some 300 km. south of the current capital of Lima, Peru. It is a desert region as is the rest of the coast, crossed by a couple of rivers that carry some water during the summer. The Nazca culture that developed in these valleys between approximately the X and V centuries BC, is one of the most ancient in all the coastal regions bordering the Pacific Ocean. The Nazcas were a refined people that knew how to take advantage of their proximity to the mountain culture of Tiahunaco by maintaining a commercial trade that included the exchange of wool, maize, and precious metals from the mountains for fish, cotton, and fruits from the coast. Through this important trading network, the Nazcas also received knowledge about the use of mineral colors obtained from oxides and colored soils extracted from mountain quarries. This explains the diversity of colors that the Nazcas developed in their textiles and ceramics. Their themes were always very influenced by the presence of marine fauna, such as birds and fish. Many times these beings were anthropomorphized, which helps us to understand the role that those animals had in their religious pantheon."
