Couple under a blanket

Room 4, Vitrine 28

• In these sculptural clay bottles, a couple is shown copulating, partially covered by a blanket so that only their heads and genitals can be seen.
• The way in which the blanket is depicted recalls a field system divided into smallholdings, marked with cross-like motifs, the universal symbol of encounter and connection.
• Moche culture, Florescent Epoch (1 AD – 800 AD), ML004223, ML004236.
