In Andean Iconography front-facing figures are often referred to as Staff Gods and thought to represent deities in Andean cultures. There is no uniform representation of a "Staff God". Dozens of variations of "Staff Gods" exist. Usually a Staff God is pictured "front-facing" holding vertical objects (referred to as "staffs") one in each hand. Some scholars think that some variations of the Staff God are possible depictions of Viracocha or Thunupa.

  • El Dios de los báculos, también conocido como Dios de las varas, es una deidad importante en las culturas andinas. Por lo general, se lo representa sosteniendo un bastón en cada mano, con dientes con colmillos y patas extendidas y con garras, sus otras características son desconocidas, aunque a menudo se lo representa con serpientes en su tocado o ropa. Se le conoce como Viracocha en la religión Inca. La representación más antigua conocida del Dios de las varas se encontró en 2003 en algunos fragmentos de calabaza rotos en un sitio de entierro en el valle del río Pativilca (región Norte Chico) y el carbono data de 2250 a. C ,actual Perú. Esto la convierte en la imagen más antigua de un dios que se encuentra en las Américas.​ Hay estudiosos que sostienen que el Dios de las varas Wari-Tiwanaku actual Perú es el precursor de los principales dioses incas, el Sol, la Luna y el Trueno.​ Como deidad principal, fue considerado el dios creador y sirvió como el icono religioso principal de todos los Andes peruanos, particularmente durante el Horizonte Temprano (900-200 a. C.) y más allá.​ El culto a esta deidad se extendió a los Andes Centrales durante el Horizonte Medio (600-1000 d. C.)​ Esto está respaldado por artefactos excavados del Horizonte Medio que se parecían al Dios de las varas.​ (es)

Some scholars think that some variations of the Staff God are possible depictions of Viracocha or Thunupa. The oldest known depiction of the Staff God was found in 2003 on some broken gourd fragments in a burial site in the (Norte Chico region) and carbon dated to 2250 BCE. This makes it the oldest image of a god to be found in the Americas. There are scholars who maintain that the Wari-Tiwanaku Staff God is the forerunner of the Incan principal gods, Sun, Moon, and Thunder. As the chief deity, it was considered the creator god and served as the primary religious icon of the entire Peruvian Andes, particularly during the Early Horizon (900-200 BC) and beyond. The worship of Staff Gods spread to the Central Andes during the Middle Horizon (600-1000 CE) This is supported by excavated Middle Horizon artifacts that resembled the Staff-God. (en)
