Decoration on the popular mode of 1977 offering jars from Conchopata depicts SAIS iconography, although not exclusively. As shown in the reconstruction drawn in the upper left-hand corner, the jars are face-neck human effigies, each representing a male wearing a tunic decorated on the torso area with a Staff God who has two rows of smaller Profile Attendants to his right and left. The upper row of attendants faces away from and the lower row faces toward the Staff God.
