Context:

The Moche were unique in the Andes for creating realistic human portraits, usually in the form of head-shaped vessels. The heads' identities are unclear though we assume that many represent elites, including rulers. The large vessel, however, may be an important person of another kind-a captive who, like some prisoner figures, has double earrings and a hank of hair over the forehead.
