El Conejo: Journal of the Center for Archaeological & Tropical Studies
This article entitled "Sipping from the Font of Power: A Study of Moche Portrait Vessels," discusses the portrait pottery of the Moche people of Peru, who thrived around 1- 800 CE. The creation of portrait pots bearing the likenesses of warriors and sacrificial victims reveals the ways in which vital liquids like water, chicha, and blood were controlled by Moche elites in order to bolster power structures and control daily life through esoteric rituals.
