The Recuay nation developed in the Áncash mountains approximately 1500 years ago. It was a contemporary of the Cajamarca and Moche cultures. The high walls and the lattices visible in the upper sections indicate that this may be a depiction of a fortress. In the interior, we see a group of individuals gathered in a courtyard. Much of the Recuay population lived in settlements surrounded by defensive walls, ditches and towers, designed to protect the members of the community from possible attacks by neighboring peoples.
