Partial reconstruction of one Conchopata-style urn from Julio Tello's 1942 excavations depicting Beltless 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). Figures are (a, c) severed heads of agents (possibly Agent 142; not discussed here) held by both tan-bodied and purple-bodied Profile Deities; (b, d) captive Agent 140 held by Beltless Staff God.
