Pendant with Figurine
Not on view
This figurine depicts a high-status Wari man wearing a tapestry tunic, earspools, and a headdress; he is perched on a Spondylus princeps valve. The tunic—inlaid with other rare, imported materials, including mother-of-pearl—demonstrates the imperial reach of the Wari Empire.
Esta figurilla retrata a un noble wari cuyo ropaje está compuesto por una túnica, orejeras y un tocado. La parte superior de la concha Spondylus tiene huecos para que el objeto sea suspendidos.
