Abstract

AbstractThe Moches were a pre‐Columbian culture from Peru, who had a fine ceramic technique and used to represent diseases. One example is the potter presented here which represents a man with a probable Meige's syndrome and may be the first artistic representation of this disease. © 2010 Movement Disorder Society.
