Mochica golden earrings
Throughout history and in many cultures, the body has not only been a support of ornamentation, it has also been transformed with the realization of tattoos, perforations and deformations. Certain parts of the body, such as lips, earlobes and skulls, are modified by processes that can last a lifetime in some men. Earrings, which distinguish individuals of power in the Andes, are among the most significant ornaments.
