The so-called "moon animal", which can be seen on the feathered textile, probably represents a constellation. The "moon animal" is an upright standing monkey with a protruding headgear or headdress. Monkeys are very common in the material culture of the Chimú. The stirrup spouts of the ceramics are almost always decorated with a small monkey. The motive for this is not entirely clear. Probably an indication of fertility, since monkeys are found in the fertile coastal oases or in the Amazon region of Peru. Feathered textiles made from the feathers of tropical birds were among the most important status symbols in ancient Peru. They had to be imported from the Amazon region via the Andes.
