- Lot Description
South America, Peru, Spanish Colonial period, ca. 18th to early 19th century CE. A gathering of 13 silver items, ranging from high quality 75.6% to 94.7% silver and encompassing a variety of objects: tupus (pins), finials, belt fittings which include a buckle and strap rings. The 5 tupus or ttipqui are garment pins in the form of spoons. Three have etched foliate designs on their neck and bowls, and one has a twisted wrought handle and wire finial. Andean women have used pins in their clothing since 1000 CE, and after European contact, many tupu and ttipqui pins were made from silver spoons, and later designs incorporated spoon shapes, such as these. The belt pieces include a circular buckle, 5 ring fittings, a flower finial, and an elongated terminal with a slit at the top for the tip of the leather strap; all with repousse and openwork foliate forms. Size of largest tupu: 5.5" L x 1.25" W (14 cm x 3.2 cm); silver quality: 75.6% to 94.7%; total weight: 155.3 grams
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection, 1995 to 2010
