Also: are these contemporary? I'm guessing they were unconvered in an archaeological dig.

Originals, Imitations, all the same Fornicatoria....Those Inca types knew how to keep warm in those cold mountain cities, eh?

My Frontier Thesis said...

Yes, the Peruvians certainly knew how to utilize friction to their advantage.

They were very Co-efficient?

MFT: Here are some explanations from the brochure:

Erotic Gallery
This hall displays the selection of archaeological objects made by Rafael Larco Hoyle in the 1960s, as a result of his research on sexual representations in Peruvian pre-Columbian art, published in his book Checan (1966). Renovated in November 2002, this exhibition of erotic ceramics is being displayed with comments and new perspectives resulting from advanced research about these sexual representations, which belong to a greater representation system.

Ask JJ, he's up to his ears in representations. But he insists on using infinte-dimensional ones. Me thinks two dimensions are enough.

Arelcao Akleos said...

If it offers any support, AI, Gaspard Monge would agree with you

Tecumseh said...

Speaking of support, how does that Peruvian fellow in the pic manage to float in the air?

Arelcao Akleos said...

I believe there is one "pillar" that supports him

AA, you're the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, reincarnate.
