Around 600 objects recovered in the tomb of the Lord of Sipán. The clothing stands out, which measures approximately 1.67 m, the three pairs of gold and turquoise earmuffs or the necklace formed by twenty peanut fruits, of which ten are made of silver and another ten in gold, alluding to the duality present in the mochica worldview.
