Day one hundred and fifty-nine: With only a few minutes to spare today before departing Lima on the red-eye flight back to the U.S., I decided to make a simple line sketch in about five minutes. It is based on a face carved in stone on display at the Larco Museum. I forgot to capture the specific culture and date of the object, but suffice to say it’s pre-Columbian and very old. I especially like that the same face is repeated on the figure’s forehead between the two hands.
why?
