Pin: Tupu I by Lucia Torres Venegas.Silver.. 2020.0.52 x 1.55 x 0.3 cm.Photo by: Sabrina Karahodzic.Statement: The tupu has been a traditional piece of jewelry for many centuries in Peru and the Andean landscape. Traditionally worn by women throughout different classes in precolonial society it always made a statement about the wearer’s status.
