Chimú wooden sculpture

Day one hundred and sixty: Home from Peru and exhausted from travel, I thought I would make one last simple study of a pre-Columbian artifact. This sketch is based on a Chimú figure sculpted in wood during the Imperial Period (1300-1532 BCE). The tall thin object is on display at the Museo de Arte Precolombino in Cusco.
