Archaeological investigations have demonstrated that Moche-Sicán cities were governed by warrior-priests, while depictions of rulers on pottery have revealed that these rulers wore pectorals like the example here. The ornate pectoral for a high-ranking noble or priest was sewn onto clothing, used to convey the wealth and power of their owners and separating them from artisans, farmers and herders, whose labour underpinned their rule. Only kings and religious figures of high status wore such adornments. Pre-Columbian artisans excelled in metalwork. The Moche was a powerful ancient state on the north coast of present-day Peru. -
