Sandals like this are rare finds. Usually such everyday objects are left behind by the grave robbers. The only thing they were interested in was valuable ceramics or textiles. Therefore, we know little about everyday life in Ancient Peru. The Inca site of Tambo Colorado on the south coast of Peru was abruptly abandoned. There everyday clothes like shoes and children's clothes were found. Probably the sandal originates from the Peruvian south coast, because the desert becomes drier and drier towards the south and the state of preservation of organic material improves. From northern Peru we have very few textiles and other objects made of organic material.
