Shin guards
The shin guards were probably part of an Inca soldier's armour. Some researchers attribute these shin guards to earlier cultures such as Huari. As none of them have been derived from confirmed archaeological findings to date, the cultural classification is not clear. The armour of a soldier in Ancient Peru had to be light, as the fighters had to cover long distances on foot. There were no mounts and no draught animals that could have pulled transport wagons.
