Moche Ceremonial Tumi - Gold, Copper & Turquoise

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Northern Peru, Ca 100 to 300 CE. Extremely rare knife of the type used by the Moche in ceremonial sacrificial rites, atop which stands a gold representation of Ai Apec standing upon a small platform holding a staff in his right hand and a small offering in his left hand. As Ai Apec is virtually incessantly transforming his physical state, snake-head appendages emerge from his shoulders and amazingly, small wings on his back. The deity is wonderfully bedecked in turquoise inlays. Custom stand. 8-1/4" H by 5/8" W Custom stand included.

Provenance: Ex-private Los Angeles, CA collection.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
