Descriptio Worked, hammered, and modeled copper. Measurements: approximately 16 × 14 × 1 cm each figure. Set of two Moche figures depicted standing in profile, composed of several individual plaques corresponding to a mask, torso, arms, and legs, assembled to form guardian figures of a funerary nature. One of the figures wears a necklace with pendants, and the other a necklace decorated with owl motifs. The arms, legs, and pectoral plaques are rendered with angular and stylized forms. According to the documentation provided, these types of elements were attached by means of small peripheral holes to cane and leather sarcophagi or funerary bundles belonging to elite individuals of Moche society.
