Moche Fineline Painting of Ancient Peru

The Moche civilisation that lived on the north coast of Peru between AD 100 and 800 left behind textiles, metalwork and huge pyramids with some of the most vivid pottery ever to be found. This exhibition showcases the paintings on these ceramics and features 50 large-scale drawings reproduced from the painted originals by artist Donna McClelland. These include warfare, hunting scenes and supernatural beings, all depicted using extremely narrow lines that wrapped around the chambers of the vessels.
