Pashas

Pashash lies near Cabana in the northern Peruvian highlands. Its stone buildings and sculptures belong to the Recuay cultural tradition, which flourished in the mountains of Áncash before the rise of the Inca Empire. Sculptors carved figures and decorated stone slabs, while potters made fine vessels and artisans worked metal. The site was one of several centres whose architecture and imagery reveal connections among highland communities across the region.
