Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chancay / Chimu, ca. 1100 to 1400 CE. A cabesa falsa (false head) cotton woven textile case, adorned with a front mask depicting an abstract visage. From top to bottom: a textile headband woven with a bird motif in hues of golden ochre, rose, and chocolate brown further adorned by a silver dumbell shaped ornament, next two large silver eyes with irises of deep brown woolen yarn, between the eyes a conical silver nose filled with the same brown yarn, a mouth of the same materials with openwork diamond shaped teeth, and finally a pectoral or possibly false beard comprised of two diagnonally placed bands of hammered silver with a circular silver pendant framing a three-dimensional owl or bat visage woven from vibrant yellow, pink, brown, and cream camelid yarns. The Chancay peoples fervently believed that the earthly world and that of the afterlife were inextricably linked. Because of this, the deceased were carefully prepared for their journey beyond. Mummy bundles like this example would have been filled with reeds and offerings for the deceased. Size: 17" W x 25.25" H (43.2 cm x 64.1 cm)
