content: Moche wooden figure depicting a seated nude captive/prisoner with hands tied behind his back and a rope around his neck. It is one of a series of objects that were found on Guanape Island, an island off the shores of Peru, where guano mining was taking place in the 19th and early 20th century. As is the case for many of these objects, the exact context is unclear. Additional examples of objects recovered from the guano islands are described in detail in Kubler, George (1948). Towards absolute time: Guano archaeology. In Bennett, W. C. (ed.), A Reappraisal of Peruvian Archaeology, Memoirs of the Society for American Archaeology and Institute of Andean Research, Menasha, WI, pp. 29–50.
