Tête de "momie baluchon" ou "tête factice", env. 1000 - 1400 ap. J.-C. ·  Pérou, Côte centrale, Chancay · ID: 3050251

Description

A fine “mummy bundle false head” made from tightly woven cotton sack and camelid fibers (alpaca or llama), with hammered and cut sheets made from a copper - silver alloy sewn to the cloth as the visage.

When used, the pillow case would have been stuffed with fiber (straw, raw cotton) to create volume and fastened as a “false head” to the top of a mummy bundle (“fardo”).

Chancay mummies were tightly wrapped in a seated position with yards and yards of cloth, creating drum- to cylinder-shaped “mummy bundles”.

“False heads” can also be carved from wood or hammered and chased from metal, such as gold, silver and copper.
