The Peruvian connection, LINK

Easter Island Dwelling, Peruvian Chullpa

What is An Easter Island birdman vase doing in Peru? Conversely, what is a carving of an Alpaca head and a carving depicting the legend of carrying fresh fish from the Pacific Ocean to the King in Tiahuanaco doing in a cave on Rapa nui?

The image of the 'Ancient Statue found in Bolivia' sent me on a quest for the Long Ears of Easter Island...but I became distracted by the link above, particularly by the so-called Alpaca head. I saw this object when I first read Aku Aku and wondered what it was.

This is the first time I have seen the 'birdman vase' claimed to have been found in Peru. I wonder if it is a genuine find?
