"Hundreds of dazzlingly beautiful, sexually explicit ceramic sculptures made by indigenous Moche artists in Peru over a thousand years ago constitute a large and important corpus of non-western art about sex. Nevertheless, the Moche sex pots remain largely unknown except to regional specialists, subject to a dual marginalization. In Pre-Columbian studies, sexuality remains marginalized and understudied; in sexuality studies, non-western art is largely absent, and "classical" Greece and Rome appear as modernity's only Other. This study of the Moche sex pots fills these lacunae from a new materialist perspective. Breaking with the iconographic tradition that has long dominated Pre-Columbian studies, this book does not consider the sex pots as representations of human and nonhuman bodies, but as actual ceramic bodies that interact with fleshly bodies, now and in the ancient past"--

La Mina: A Royal Moche Tomb focuses on La Mina, an extraordinarily rich tomb that was looted on the north coast of Peru in 1987. The ceramic and metal objects it contained were among the most extraordinary ever produced in the Andean area, and it had the most colorfully decorated pre-Columbian burial chamber ever found in the Americas. The artifacts are now scattered throughout the world, nearly all of them held in private collections. In this work Donnan reveals how he was able to locate and document many of the tomb's contents and determine how the tomb was constructed and embellished. With more than two hundred color images of the archaeological treasures unearthed at La Mina--remarkable works in ceramic and metal that are among the greatest masterpieces of art from the ancient world--students and scholars will welcome the mystery of how careful archaeological sleuthing can piece together valuable information to recover what seemed to be unrecoverable.
