Moche Culture Human Image Sculpture

Human image sculptures with Moche cultural characteristics, which existed between 200 BC and 600 AD. The Moche culture is an ancient civilization in the coastal region of northern Peru in South America, known for its exquisite metalworking, pottery, and sculpture. This sculpture is an important work of art in the Moche culture, showcasing the society's portrayal of character images and aesthetic concepts at that time. In 2021, this sculpture was returned from Canada. The return of the sculpture represents respect and protection for cultural heritage, and also reflects the international community's emphasis on illegal cultural relic trade and cultural heritage protection.
