Donnan, Christopher B., Joanne Pillsbury, Izumi Shimada, and Theresa Lange Topic. "Moche."
"Full-body effigies depict a range of individuals, including warriors, ritual specialists, and others. Warriors are often shown on one knee with shield and club at the ready; regal figures, seated cross-legged, display elaborate headdresses and large ear spools." "Moche ceramic artists were the creators and masters of a painting style called fineline, in which red slip is delicately painted on a buff background."
