Peruvian Ceremonial Knife in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2018
Ceremonial Knife (Tumi)
Date: 10th–12th century
Geography: Peru, North Coast
Culture: Lambayeque (Sicán)
Medium: Gold, silver, turquoise
Dimensions: H. 14 1/4 × W. 6 1/4 × D. 1 5/8 in. (36.2 × 15.9 × 4.1 cm)
Classification: Metal-Implements
Credit Line: Gift and Bequest of Alice K. Bache, 1974, 1977
Accession Number: 1974.271.60
Around A.D. 1000, high-status tombs were constructed at Batán Grande, a site now called the Sicán Archaeological Precinct, where a single burial could include as many as five masks: one attached to the head and the others stacked at the feet. The shape of the eyes is characteristic of the Sicán deity, also shown atop the ceremonial knife (tumi).
