Artwork description

este tipo de ejemplares del periodo Lambayeque (700- 1300 d.C) de la cultura Zicán, eran destinados tanto para la realización de operaciones médicas, como para el uso de sacrificios religiosos. Los cuchillos eran elaborados con aleaciones de oro, plata y bronce, adornados con turquesas. Además, las figuras antropomorfas que decoraban el astil representaban ídolos que ellos consideraban que dotarían a los tumis de poder mágico para realizar las actividades a las que se destinaban.
