When I was 15, I was given a piece of tapestry from Peru, and silver
earrings shaped as the "god" Tumy..
When I was 24, I was given a woolen blanket with the same god on it.. bought
at the Winnipeg Art Gallery.
Now, I have a heavy plaque which I bought at a yardsale in Largo, Florida
with a metal (copper?)impression of this Tumy
which comes from Tiwanacu.
On the Back it says:
"TUMY (Cultura Tiahuanaco) Implemento Quirurgico empleado
por los INCAS para prepanaciones craneales."
.. Ya.. their version of a Harvey Wallbanger??? ..
So, continues my search of these countries histories...or of the INCAS.
I am posting the pictures I took.. with and without flash:

And there's one piece.. that's in a Russian sellers place.. 871 rubies..
