Detail aus der Tempelanlage des Cerro Sechín im Casmatal an der peruanischen Pazifikküste. Der Komplex aus rund neunzig zum Teil gewaltigen Monolithplatten wird dem Küsten-Chavín-Stil zugeordnet, obwohl die Reliefs wenig mit den anderen altperuanischen Steinarbeiten zu tun haben und eher Ähnlichkeiten mit der mexikanischen Monte-Albán-Kultur aufweisen. Die im Profil dargestellten Figuren blicken alle zum Haupteingang des Tempels. - 1976

Detail from the temple complex of Cerro Sechín in the Valley of Casma on the Peruvian Pacific coast. The complex of around ninety monolithic slabs, some of them enormous, is attributed to the coastal Chavín style, although the reliefs have little in common with other ancient Peruvian stonework and show more similarities with the Mexican Monte Albán culture. - 1976
