Chimù silver nose ornaments

The iconography observed on the nose ornaments and earrings, which accompany the dead of the Chimù elite, is associated with the figure of the deceased ruler, who is represented at the centre of echelon architecture. These structures could correspond to the representation of the funerary platforms where the great rulers were buried.
