Four-cornered cap
These caps have a velvet-like appearance. They all have four corners, but different colours and patterns. They are believed to have been worn by high dignitaries of the Huari. This cap shows a winged creature, which is repeated in all squares in changing colours. The creature seems to be a combination of llama and condor.
