fun fact:


digital description:


wall description:
Paracas headgear from mummy bundles sometimes incorporate human-hair wigs, wound with long headbands and slings. Ornamented with a diminutive kneeling figure, this pin may have been used like a hat pin to hold the wrappings in place. Although poorly preserved, this object illustrates the use of resin pigment on materials other than ceramics.
