Lanzón stella

The Lanzón is a granite stella and cult object that served as the focal point in the Old Temple at Chavín. At 15 feet tall the sculpture resembles a digging stick, which makes experts believe it was associated with the harvest season. The Lanzón itself was erected during the Early Horizon period of Andean art circa 500 BCE and the 3D model seen here was created using photogrammmetry collected by CyArk in 2017.
