La Estela Raimondi

This granite slab or stela is named after the italian traveller Antoni Raimondi, who discovered it in a peasant's hut in the Callejón de Conchucos (Ancash) in 1874

 

The stela is carved in the image of a deity, possibly the main god worshipped at the Chavin de Huantar (1500-500 B.C.). The figure holds two staffs, one in each hand, and is adorned with snake designs and stylised feline fangs.

 

This figure, known as the "Staff-Bearing Gog" covers only one third of the surface of the stela.

The upper two-thirds is taken up by the intricate design of the hair or head-dress. The design includes different graphic metaphors, such as snakes representing the hair.

 

The faces can be observed so much from up to down as of down to up.

indicating this composition to us the high degree of artistc and technological development that reached the Chavin Society in the last stage of their existence.

 

 

 

 

 

Diversidad Cultural en el Formativo

Since 1500 B.C. and in a more intense way, around 400 B.C. a broad dispersion of the formal and figurative elements can be observed. These integrate a great part of the Andean area, giving this period the name of "Horizonte Chavin".

The different styles indicate the strong trade existing between the various societies of the time

Descubriendo Chavin

Julio C. Tello visited Chavin de Huantar for the first time in 1919. He officially recognized the site and brought the "Obelisco Tello" to Lima. This was found in 1908 by farmers that cultivated corn in the "Plaza Cuadrangular Hundida" In 1934, he came back to Chavin due to the destruction of part of the site, caused by the flood of the Mosna River. once again, he recognized the area and elaborated an architectonic plan of the ceremonial center.

 

Between the years of 1942 and 1944, he traveled constantly to Chavin, carrying out many archeological excavations in different sectors of the Ceremonial Centre, like in the "Templo Viejo", the "Templo Nuevo", the "Plaza Cuadrangular Hundida" and other buildings. He recovered valuable information concerning the functioning of the site and also about the location of very characteristic elements of Chavin de Huantar.
