First used by the Paracas culture it was then adopted by the Nazca. While at first the Paracas tended to incise designs derived from the art of the Chavin culture onto the surface of the vases, later they began to treat them as sculpted forms, an advance facilitated by developments ceramic technology which made it possible to construct containers with thinner walls.
