A happy ending
“As we come to the end of this book on one aspect of the archaeological panorama of Peru for which our only source is erotic vessels, readers are free to explore for themselves the vast field of suggestion” (Checán, p.128), said Rafael Larco, an archeologist and founder of the museum, in his book Checán.
So, when next in Peru you find yourself face-to-face with a pink dick tucked into a gun holster, by all means laugh, joke, and maybe show your friend – but remember that while it may be funny now, as you hold it up for all to see, at one point in time it meant so much more than what we see in the present day.
