The holes of both are biconically drilled. There are traces of red pigment around the spikes of the larger specimen. These two mace heads are very similar to three from the Chicama Valley in the Museo Larco Herrera (Larco Hoyle, 1941, fig. 136) and one found at V-66 in Viru by Strong and Evans (1952, pp. 55-56, pi. Ill, E). These others differ from mine in having spikes in all the inter-flange spaces instead of dentate lugs alternat- ing with spikes. They vary considerably in size and proportions and in the length of the spikes. The Chicama mace heads do not have a certain period association but are attributed by Larco Hoyle to Cupisnique, probably Cupisnique Transitorio. The V-66 specimen was found in what was thought to be burial fill and close to a Puerto Moorin burial. No Guafiape burials were found at V-66. The majority of burials were from the fully developed Puerto Moorin period, but Strong considered the pots in two burials to be transitional in style between Guafiape and Puerto Moorin (Strong and Evans, 1952, pp. 57-58). Thus, Strong's mace head was de- posited in very early Puerto Moorin or somewhat later. In the latter case, it may well have been an heirloom from an earlier day. My examples be- long to Late Guafiape or early Puerto Moorin, or to the transition between.
