Description

The Lambayeque 750AD, experts in Metallurgy and Goldsmithing, made the “Tumi,” which was a ceremonial dagger used to officiate sacrifices to the God Naylamp. The Tumi was a divine symbol; a badge of hierarchy, prestige and lineage and only the nobles possessed it. It was, above all, a symbol of unlimited power.
