  • The “Tumi”, an Inca deity, is a sacrificial ceremonial axe or knife with a semi-circular blade in the Inca Culture. The Tumi was used for rituals during the “Inti Raymi” or “Festival of the Sun”, an Inca ceremony in honor of the sun after the maize harvest in the highlands. Is also believed that the Tumi was used for rituals, sacrifices, trepanations and as a symbol of power and prestige.
  • The Lambayeque civilization (aka Sican) flourished between c. 750 and c. 1375 CE on the northern coast of Peru, straddling the Middle Horizon and Late Intermediate Period of the ancient Central Andes. They were prodigious producers of art objects, masks, and goldwork, and made a significant contribution to the progression of Andean art.
  • The Lambayeque civilization is known for their metalwork, particularly gold work where the alloy material was engraved, beaten against molds, cut, soldered or welded, and then inlaid. Some of the most famous art pieces from the Andes are Lambayeque gold ceremonial knives called “Tumi” with the handle representing a Sican Lord.
