| The Moche culture, also known as the Early Chimú, was a civilization that thrived in the northern coast of Peru from approximately 100 to 700 AD. They were not a unified empire or state, but rather a group of autonomous polities that shared a common culture. The Moche are renowned for their rich iconography and monumental architecture, which have survived to this day. The Moche civilization was known for its ceramic art, particularly the stirrup-spout vessels, which were cast from molds and often depicted elaborate figurative scenes. The Moche are also infamous for their practice of child sacrifice, which was used in religious rituals to appease their deities. |
