Nasca figures, like one on a bowl nearby, are shown wearing such forehead ornaments and masks. The mask hung from the nasal septum, the oval surrounding the mouth and the bristles positioned as feline whiskers, though transformed to serpents. Both were cut from sheet gold; details were worked freehand while the sheet rested on a soft surface (repoussé).
