These Mochica ceramic bottles (1–800 AD) depict two scenes of sexual union, emphasizing social status and ritual. One bottle shows a procreative act with a woman in facial paint and jewelry lying on her back, while a man in a priestly cap holds her legs. The other illustrates anal intercourse, with the woman on all fours, her face painted, and the man, featuring exaggerated traits, wearing a cap with circular designs.
