Fish and other seafood was a staple source of nourishment for the Moche, who lived on the coast between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The couple's status is recognizable through the patterned textiles they wear; a striped tunic for the man and a floral or star-patterned dress for the woman. Both wear traditional fabric headgear. Textiles were a prestigious art form for the Moche and were highly valued, often presented as gifts and sometimes even used in place of money. http://www.artsconnected.org/resource/108777/vessel-gallery-label-current This stirrup-spout vessel shows a noble Moche man and woman enjoying a seafood meal.
