Moche Nose Ornament in the Shape of a Head. My drawing 101/365 V4.0 A face worn over a face. Gold and silver transform the wearer into a symbol of power and ritual identity. Crafted in ancient Peru (6th–7th century CE), where even the body became narrative.

Muisca Anthropomorphic Gold Sun Disk. My drawing 102/365 V4.0 Not the sun… its presence. A human face radiating other faces, turning gold into living energy. Crafted between 600–1600 CE by the Muisca, where wearing gold meant carrying the sun.
