 Vicus was an
important early culture in Peru from 1000BC to 300AD. These settlers in the
Piura region were known for their work in ceramics and gold. Living mainly
on the coastal deserts, they used the native clay and local dyes to produce
natural and religious symbols; modern day pottery from the town of
Chulucanas is said to closely resemble the ancient art. |
