Inca Tumi

The Inca Tumi is a distinctive ceremonial knife from the ancient Inca civilization in Peru. It has a semi-circular blade and an intricately crafted handle, usually made from materials such as gold, silver, or bronze. This ceremonial tool held significant spiritual importance and was frequently used in religious ceremonies, healing practices, and sacrificial rituals. The intricate engravings on both the blade and handle depict animals, deities, and symbolic motifs, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the Inca civilization. Despite its association with human sacrifice, the Inca Tumi continues to serve as a symbol of Inca culture, representing their artistic prowess and spiritual beliefs.
