15.29

Variations among the face necks of male effigies on the 1977 offering jars include clean faces as well as faces with beard and mustache (15.27). Also appearing are faces with cheek and nose paint, sometimes with and sometimes without beard and mustache (15.31). Variations among the shoulder design, where a tunic neck slit is clearly indicated, include dual felines with peg teeth and tail curving up over the back, apparently of the Nasca-Ayacucho tradition (see also 15.27).
