Disk Ornament A.D. 600-1533 Manteño Huancavilca Technical note: Optical microscopy and XRF conducted in 2017. This metal disk, possibly a pectoral, belongs to the corpus of artifacts often referred to as tincullpas described by Verneau and Rivet (1912, 299-306) and Jijón y Caamaño (1920). This disk shows a mammalian face in high relief at its center and flat undecorated edges around the outside. While these faces tend to be identified as feline (see Ugalde 2009), Rodríguez (1992, 82-83) has drawn attention to certain features as indicators of a kinkajou (Potos flavus). In this case, the face includes two semi-circular eyes, a nose whose bridge begins above the eyes, and a rectangular mouth with four teeth. The two central teeth have perforations, which may have secured a long movable tongue attached with staples (cf. Jijón y Caamaño 1920, pl. 6, no. 5). There are two more holes, perhaps for suspension near the top of the disk. The disk was made from hammered sheet, worked by repoussé a
