Inca Silver Figure

Inca Silver Figures are ceremonial miniature sculptures crafted by artisans of the Inca Empire, primarily between 1400, 1532 CE, representing human or llama forms used as ritual offerings (capacocha) to deities and ancestors. These finely worked objects were created by skilled metalworkers called cumbicamayoc, using hammering and repoussé techniques with high-purity Andean silver. They are among the most prized artifacts of Pre-Columbian South American art, frequently appearing in major auction houses and museum collections worldwide.
