ANTIQUE VINTAGE PERUVIAN TUPO TUPU PIN FOLK ART SUN / FACE w/ DANGLING CHARMS
DESCRIPTION
Here is a wonderful
antique or vintage, tupu shawl or cloak pin from South America, likely Peru. It is hard to tell the exact date of this piece. The traditional tupo / tupu was a large pin used by women of Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador to fasten their shawls or cloaks against the cold winds of the Andean highlands. The sun face is hand chased with decorative chased charms that dangle.  There is a lovely bird and Inca god charm that dangles.
I believe the charms that hang are significant to the region of the wearer.  The silver metal is untested and there are no marks, completely hand made, with some copper fasteners.  Wonderful hard to find vintage piece to add to your collection.
See pictures and bid with confidence.   Very unique and beautiful collectors piece. Happy to answer questions.
