Catalogue Description: Large, disk-shaped pin (tupu) with a repoussé design of a stylized urn with branches of grapes, a common ornamental form derived from vases that flank altars frequently seen in Cusco statue paintings. This tupu, which was meant to be worn upside down, was used by Andean women to secure their dresses and shawls.
