Mummified male body from the Chimu people of Peru, circa 1200-1400.
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The naturally preserved mummy is from the north coast of Peru, where the Chimu culture buried their dead in 'mummy bundles'. The body would have been seated in an upright position with the knees at the face. The body was then wrapped in layers of fabric and a false head attached to the bundle. It was then buried with personal possessions, ritual objects and food offerings, revealing a strong belief in a continuing existence after death. |
