emblems and clothes of gold, silver, golden copper and semi-valuable
stones that he used when he lived; surrounded by 8 companions between
wives, warriors and servants. Animals sacrified and more than tho usands

religion of the Mochica cosmovision. The clothes were used to many
ceremonies. The images in the art of this culture had live.
