| Sumario: | The practices of decapitation and post mortem treatment of the head of the sacrificed are abundantly documented in the Andeanarchaeology, especially on the southern Peruvian coast. Apart from the archaeological findings, there is a frequent presence of themotif that has been identified as “trophy head” in various objects. In this work we will concentrate on the analysis of a corpus ofNasca and Moche modeled and polychrome ceramic that belongs to the Ethnographic Museum “Juan B. Ambrosetti” (Facultad deFilosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires) and the “Larco” Museum (Lima, Perú). Through the archaeological informationand the iconographic analysis, we will investigate the role that the images of anthropomorphic heads played as active agents in theconfiguration of cosmologies and cosmogonies in relation to social behaviors connected to death, sacrifice, fertility and the renewal of the life cycle. |
