| The Moche
offers a rare look at one of Peru's oldest civilizations through its
most central of art forms, ceramics. Over one hundred objects, principally
ceramics, from the Peabody Museum's permanent collections will take
center stage along with artifacts of stone, wood, metal, and textiles
and photographic panels of colorful murals and friezes. Understood
principally through their ceramics, the exhibit examines the imagery
used by this ancient people and how it conveys their everyday experience
and cosmological beliefs, as well as their relationship to earlier
cultures and legacy. |
