Headdress ornament

Nasca

1–700 CE

Compared to the northern Peruvian coast, where large quantities of gold objects have been found in elaborate tombs, burials on the south coast have yielded rare and modest gold finds. Among the few southern ornaments are objects with thick rigid stems at the bottom, likely ornaments affixed to the turbanlike headdresses of important individuals.

Joke boxart for @sureindragon's and my mind sequel to Baten Kaitos Origins that we dreamed up after she finished Origins for the first time. The story isn't all about Nasca, but he nabbed the subtitle anyway cause it's funnier that way.

Bowl

Nasca

1–400 CE

Although finely decorated Nazca vessels were made in specialized workshops, recent discoveries in small habitation sites show that the use of painted plates and open bowls was not limited to people living in monumental sites. These vessels were widely distributed among the population and used in households of any socioeconomic status. Plates and bowls were probably obtained during feasts, which gave opportunities to elites to enhance their own status by displaying and distributing prestigious crafts among the population. This bowl shows large raptorial birds decapitating human beings. The white background is filled with spears, zoomorphic heads, and circular objects interpreted as sling stones. The Nazca had a headhunting cult; caches of several trophy heads with carrying ropes have been discovered occasionally by archaeologists. The frequent depiction of severed heads is one of the most distinctive features of Nazca ceramic art. According to specialists of Nazca archaeology, heads were trophies of warfare that were obtained during territorial conflicts, and then used for ritual purposes. They were probably seen as sacred means for the control of water and agricultural fertility.

My husband is trying to convince me that Nasca “aliens” are completely authentic extraterrestrials and my skepticism holds no basis in fact. He then ignores the multitude of sources I sent his way evidencing a hoax.
