This is a face protecting the temple of the Chavins. Chavins were very excellent in hammering, and building temples. their art was usually religious.
This is a mysterious Nazca line, resembling a monkey. It's gigantic, even though the picture makes it look so small.


Moche civilization liked intricate patterns on their art such as the cross on the shield of the warrior shown in this picture. Their art was mostly about rituals, but their development in art was slow because of their religious ritual, and violent wars. They used to drink blood of the war victim.
