## Gold of the Sican in Ancient Peru

The Sican culture flourished on the north coast of Peru, in the Lambayeque region. Its metalworkers produced gold masks, crowns, and jewelry of remarkable skill. Many pieces were buried with elite figures as signs of rank. Sican style shaped later coastal traditions, including that of the Chimu. Museum costume jewelry like these Pre-Columbian drop earrings carries a trace of that legacy.
