Context:
These spectacular plaques, both showing a Chavín fanged deity of unclear identity, may belong to a horde of gold objects found on the North Coast in the 1920s. One is shaped as the deity's head, its hair (or fur) transformed into serpents. On the other, the full figure appears: each clawed foot stands on a fanged mask; under the chin rest the clawed hands; and serpents writhe from the body.
