The faces are tilted slightly upward, with a rounded, crescent-shaped face and prominent nose. The eyes were sculpted as bulging circular shapes.The Condorhuasi-Alamito peoples were llama pastoralists in the area that is now the Catamarca province of Argentina. They were skilled artisans in a variety of media, including ceramic, metal, and stone.
