介绍（中）	冶金是西西里统治者权力表达的主要媒介；器皿、头饰、身体装饰、随葬面具和图米斯都是用金、银和砷铜精心制作的图米斯刀是一种带有半圆形刀片的仪式用刀具。自公元前三世纪以来，它们就在秘鲁海岸被人们所熟知，经常出现在莫切的图像中，在那里它们被用来割断祭祀受害者的喉咙最近在地位较高的Moche和Sicán人的坟墓中也原位发现了图米斯。像这样的Sicántumis是由熟练的冶金师精心制作的，他们掌握了重新穿孔、焊接和花丝技术。在这里，手柄镶嵌着绿松石，呈西西里领主的形状，有着独特的新月形头饰、逗号形眼睛和尖耳朵。Sicán Lord通常被解释为ñaymlap，是16世纪西班牙编年史中描述的Sicán王朝的神话创始人。
介绍（英）	Metallurgy was the primary medium for the expression of the power of Sicán rulers; vessels, headdresses, body adornments, funerary masks, and tumis were delicately made with gold, silver, and arsenical copper. Tumis are ceremonial knives with semicircular blades. Known on the Peruvian coast since the third century B.C., they often appear in Moche iconography, where they are used to cut the throat of sacrificial victims. Tumis were also recently found in situ in the tombs of high-status Moche and Sicán individuals. Sicán tumis such as this one were exquisitely crafted by skilled metallurgists mastering the techniques of repoussé, soldering, and filigree. Here, the handle is inlaid with turquoise and takes the shape of the Sicán Lord with characteristic crescent headdress, comma-shaped eyes, and pointed ears. The Sicán Lord is often interpreted as ñaymlap, the mythical founder of the Sicán dynasties, described in a sixteenth-century Spanish chronicle.
