The painted Staff God from a giant jar discovered at Conchopata in 1977, with a reconstructive drawing of the image drawn by Patricia Knobloch. This version of the deity icon is most similar to the Staff God carved on the Ponce monolith. The two must have been drafted from the same model and should therefore belong to the same time period. They synchronize Tiwanaku stylistic development with Wari stylistic chronology.
