Long-haired cap
In ancient Peruvian cultures, human hair was considered a symbol of constant growth and renewal. Many different types of wigs or headdresses with human hair were worn and also buried with the deceased as grave goods. The exact cultural affiliation of the object is not clear. Some scholars classify these caps chronologically later, i.e. after 1000 AD.
