| The availability of gold facilitated the creation of jewelry in large quantities among the Moche culture of pre-Columbian Peru. This piece, known as a “tweezer” pendant, features stylized bird heads and a feline image. It was made between ad 200 and 700 and is now part of the collection of the Museo Oro of Peru. | ||||||
