South America
Featured project: A technical study of Colonial period Peruvian figurines, Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, Harvard University
Within the research collections of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University, there are seven small polychrome wood figurines depicting male and female members of the Inka royal lineage. Due to their poor condition and apparent rarity, they were identified recently as a curatorial and conservation priority. This article discusses the history and significance; the results of the material analysis; and the conservation issues of these unique objects.
