Sarcophagi of Carajía Max Cortesi, Peru


The Sarcofagi of Carajía are unusually large sarcofagi in Carajía, Peru. The Sarcofagi of Carajía are unique in their genre for their colossal size, up to 2.50 m high, for their careful making, and, for the fact, that they were remained practically intact because of their location atop a ravine of difficult access. It is believed that the sarcofagi are evocations of the typical form of funeral bundle found in the coast and in the mountain range, corresponding to the period of the Tiahuanaco-Huari. In effect, the anthropomorphous form has been only given in the outlines of the human body, without the forms corresponding to the extremities taking shape.
