I really like Doran‘s backpiece, done by Rob Coutts at Bobby Five here in Toronto. Hopefully I have not mislabeled it!

Thanks for the compliments and I do forgive the mislabeling. *smile*
As for the species of fish, I and other archaeologists don’t seem too sure as Moche art is full of mythical sea creatures and monsters. The man though is often called Ai Aipec or the Decapitator. Cheeful, eh?
