Ex-collection Joseph Espinoza, Toronto, Canada. * Naymlap was the founder of the Lambayeque people. Lore has it that he arrived with a group of travelers from across the sea, landing at the mouth of what is now called the Lambayeque River and from there populated the valley. The people thrived and prospered greatly under his rule and upon his death he was deified. On the face of Naymlap, the vertical lines are his tears, which are the rains that bring fertility to the valley. #861N204: SOLD
