Late Nazca vessel depicting a bird monster, from Nasca, Peru, 400-500.

The subject is depicted in profile and there is a use of complex and repeated motifs. This artistic development preceded the decline of a discernible Nazca style, explained in terms of the increasing influence of the Wari civilization.

National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh.
