Chavin Beginning in the Formative Period, ancient Andean people used metalwork as a means and medium for communication (Lechtman 1996:35). During this period, the use of gold for crowns, pectorals, and nose ornaments grew exponentially. Nonetheless, arm bands are rarely seen in collections of ancient Peruvian gold. The most significant objects of ornamentation from this period have been found in burials at the site of Kuntur Wasi in the northern highlands (Onuki 1997, 2011). A gold crown excavated from this important ceremonial center features five stylized feline faces (Onuki 1997:86; 2017:17; Boswell 2017:139) that are almost identical to the figures on these unique arm bands. This pair of matching gold arm bands is embossed with masterfully balanced zoomorphic faces. The most dominant feature of the feline figure is an upward curved and fanged mouth that spreads across the lower half of the composition.
