Cochineros figurative imagery

Many drawings on other panels recall Chancay-style textile or Late Horizon images.

There are engravings of sea-birds which are similar to Chancay or Chimu textile imagery found at Pachacamac, from 1000 to 1470 CE. A pair of felines close to ground level on Piedra 9 also resembles Chancay woven textile designs. There are birds flying over the shoulder of Piedra 1 which recall Ychsma (1100 to 1470 CE) ceramics.
