In this article, the authors show the presence of cleft lip-palate among Peruvian aborigines, as represented in the ceramics of the Mochicas and Chimus; likewise, the references of the ancient chroniclers that the aborigines had this congenital malformation. The cleft lip-palate is a malformation that was common among Peruvian aborigines. It was considered a sign of possessing supernatural powers; and, the carriers of this malformation were considered intermediaries between the divine and the earthly, so they could act as medicine men or priests.
