%X the santamariana discursive genre funerary urns produced by the calchaqu¨ª society were used from the 11th to 17th century in a vast part of present-day northwest argentina's valliserrana sub-area. the genre's main subject is a central figure referred to as "of long eyebrows". the present text analyzes the characteristics of this representation in a broad sample of complete museum artifacts. it is proposed that cephalic adornments, trophy heads and other key referents in calchaqu¨ª symbolism stand as indicators of the importance of ideas and concepts belonging to a sacrificial-type cosmovisi¨®n.
