Moche navigation scene

Among the northern societies of ancient Peru, it was believed that the dead were carried into the underworld by sea lions. It is possible that certain boats were also used for this purpose. In this ceramic we see a boat in the shape of a fish, crewed by a figure with large fangs. He is not alone; he is accompanied by two naked captives. One of them has a tube in his neck, indicating that he has been sacrificed, and that his blood will be offered to some deity, probably in the guano islands.
