Ciec-Sipán

Face of Authority

$70.00

A bold tribute to the ceremonial power of ancient Peru, Face of Authority captures the spirit of a high-ranking figure through the sculpted head of a dignitary. Handcrafted in silver and suspended from a leather cord, this necklace evokes the striking portraiture found in Moche burial sites. The pendant features angular lines, deep-set eyes, and a balanced composition that merges symbolic storytelling with refined simplicity. Despite its small scale, the piece commands attention with its expressive form and cultural weight. The dark leather cord provides contrast while adding a rugged, timeless character—perfect for collectors drawn to artifacts that feel both ancient and modern.
