Backflap
This ornament is one of the most spectacular silver objects from the Huari culture. It is a U-shaped pectoral or rather a backflap, which was probably sewn onto a textile. Its appearance resembles a bird of prey with spread wings. At the ends of the "wings" you can see two animal heads with predatory teeth, probably a mythical creature. The lower part is reminiscent of a blade and the crescent-shaped sacrificial knives of the Moche culture. It is remarkable that in Espíritu Pampa, near the former Inca capital Cusco, an almost identical piece of jewellery was found. The backflap is accompanied by two smaller pieces of jewellery very similar to the it in shape and production method.
