Museum reproductions. Standing with open arms, two large cuchimilcos proudly represent Peru&#x27;s Chancay culture that flourished from 1200 to 1470 A.D. Their welcoming posture is believed to keep bad energies at bay. They are always found in pairs featuring a man and a woman, symbolic of divine duality, a belief held by all pre-Hispanic cultures.
