Lord of Úcupe
The Lord of Úcupe (Spanish: Señor de Úcupe) is the modern name given to the principal occupant of an elite Moche burial discovered in 2008 at Huaca el Pueblo, near modern Úcupe in the Zaña Valley on the north coast of Peru. The burial dates to about the 5th century CE. Because the tomb was recovered with a large assemblage of regalia, metalwork, shell ornaments and ceramics, it has become an important case in the study of Moche funerary ritual, elite iconography and political organization.
