Ancient erotic art from Peru


The Larco Museum in Lima (Peru) hosted an ancient erotic art exhibit back in 2011. Interestingly some of the pieces on display featured mating animals such as jaguars and llama with slight anthropomorphic features and expressions. The funniest one has to be the mice jug:

They blend pretty well among the human sculptures displaying similar poses and attitudes. More sculptures from the exhibit can be seen on a visitor's website and through Google Images.
