Pre-Columbian Era, Chimú Culture, c. 800-1470 AD, Moche Valley, Trujillo, Peru

An exceptional and rare hammered silver alloy cloak pin, showcasing the refined metalworking expertise of the Chimú civilization. While predominantly silver, this piece contains small traces of copper, a hallmark of Chimú metallurgy. Cloak pins of this type were used for securing garments or adorning hairstyles, often serving as status symbols among the elite.

This artifact likely originates from a mummy bundle or a shaman’s tomb, emphasizing its ceremonial and ritual significance. Over centuries, it has developed a rich, layered patina in deep greyish hues, further enhancing its ancient allure.

A magnificent acquisition for collectors of pre-Columbian adornments and those who appreciate the artistry and cultural depth of ancient Andean civilizations.

Excellent condition. Intact. Age-related wear. Dirt, dust and corrosion. Size approx. 12,8cm x 0,3cm x 0,2cm.
