The Chavin civiliazation flourished between 900 and

200 BCE in the northern and central Andes and was
one the earliest pre-Inca cultures. The Chavin religious
centre Chavin de Huantar became an important Andean
pilgrimage site, and Chavin art was equally influential
both with contemporary and later cultures from the
Paracas to the Incas, helping to spread Chavin imagery
and ideas and establish the first universal Andean belief
system.

 One of the most important Chavin gods was the Staff Deity, who is
the most likely subject for the famous central figure on the Gateway
of the Sun at Tiwanaku. Forerunner of the Andean creator
god Viracocha, the Staff Deity was associated with agricultural
fertility and usually holds a staff in each hand but is also represented
in a statue from the New temple at the Chavin cult site of Chavin de
Huantar (see below). This half-metre figure represents male and
female duality with one hand holding a spondylus shell and the
other a strombus shell. Another celebrated representation from the
same site is the Raimondi Stela, a two-metre high granite slab with
the god incised in low relief as a non-gender specific figure with
clawed feet, talons, and fangs in an image which can be read in two
directions. A second important Chavin deity was the fanged jaguar
god, also a popular subject in Chavin art.

 Chavin art is full of imagery of felines (especially

jaguars), snakes, and raptors, as well as supernatural
beings, often with ferocious-looking fangs. Creatures are
often transformational - presented in two states at once -
and designed to both confuse and surprise. Images are
also very often anatropic - they may be viewed from
different directions
