Lambayeque architecture

Ceramic representations of architectural structures give us an idea of what the buildings of different societies in ancient Peru were like. This ceramic shows how certain Lambayeque culture edifices had round windows through which both air and light entered. The façade of this building is also decorated with the step motifs seen in other artistic contexts.

The guards at the entrance to the building and the special decoration of the walls appear to indicate that this ceramic is a depiction of an important building.
