Sculptural Vases - Human representation Huari Transitional Period 800-1300 AD Museo de Arte Precolombino, Cusco - Peru With small, almost imperceptible detail, the huari artist has crafted this vessel; In this, one can observe an incipient and careful sculptural activity that as such, was traditionally a secondary expression within ceramic art of the southern cultures of pre-Columbian Peru, whose excellence was determined by their polychrome painting, leaving to the northern groups - especially the Mochica - to reach levels of genius in sculpture.
