Pectoral depicting a hybrid deity combining feline and spider features, holding a trophy head in one hand and a ceremonial tumi in the other. The figure wears a crescent-shaped crown adorned with a small projecting mask at the center of the forehead. The elongated eyes and open mouth revealing fangs give the piece a strong expressiveness. This representation falls within the Chimú iconography of great tutelary deities, in which animal attributes are combined with symbols of power. The joint presence of the trophy head and the tumi refers to complex ritual practices related to authority, warfare, and the divine realm. The figure, both frontal and hieratic, embodies an intermediary between humans and gods, expressing the power and legitimacy of both religious and political rule.

I read and reread the first three books in the series over and over again, until they fell apart and I had to get new copies. The other three were not available at that time. From these #books I discovered a love of #ancientcultures, #anthropology and #herbalremedies. (4)
