nascapottery

Little is known about the people who carved these lines, or even when they were originally constructed, however the remains of terra-cota pot-shards from the nearby area tell us some about the culture of the people who were, at the least, the Nasca lines' latest custodians. Here we see a vase shaped like a mushroom, painted with lizards, a regular bowl with geometric fish designs, a dual-stem vase with figurative birds, and a primitive pipe sculpted to look like a snake.
