23.29

Partial reconstruction (based on individual photos and not actual sherds) of one Conchopata-style urn from Julio Tello's 1942 excavations depicting Belted Staff Gods alternating with Profile Deities and positioned as pairs between vertical bands of face/fret textile designs. Assigned to Epoch 2A (AD 825-850). The urn's reconstruction begins across the top of Figure 23.29, from a to "e-1" and continues from "e-2" across the bottom. Sherds edged in blue indicate possible completion of the imagery and not confirmed location of the piece: (a, and possibly f) captive Agent 132 held by tan-bodied Profile Deities; (b) Agent 101; (c, g, and possibly e, i) captive Agent 140 held by Belted Staff Gods; and (d, h) captive Agent 110 held by purple-bodied Profile Deities.
