Male body and sexual propitiatory rituals

Room E2

In these exhibition rooms the complementary duality of feminine and masculine is displayed, expressed in the forms and images of the pottery objects created by the artists of ancient Peru.

Men are depicted as fertilizing agents, projecting their virility and potency. Men are shown touching, caressing, kissing, as well as being touched, caressed and kissed. They are also depicted as passive receptors of the propitiatory actions of their female partners, particularly when they are presented as inhabitants of the underworld, with cadaverous characteristics, a condition which does not inhibit in any way their sexual activity.
