Archaeologists working at the Huaca Yolanda archaeological site in Peru’s La Libertad region have uncovered an unprecedented 3,000 to 4,000-year-old three-dimensional polychrome mural that is being hailed as a singular discovery in Peruvian archaeology. The remarkable find, measuring 4 meters long and 1.5 meters high, features intricate fish-like motifs with one displaying a body shaped like a 3D fishing net, alongside depictions of plants and stars painted in vibrant blues, yellows, and blacks. This extraordinary double-sided artwork was discovered within the inner wall of an atrium inside a U-shaped temple complex, offering unprecedented insights into the sophisticated artistic techniques and spiritual practices of Peru’s Formative period civilizations.
