A
Peruvian mummy found in a
cave near Lupo in the Andes Mountains has been displayed
recently at the museum. In the past, the Museum of Man has
exhibited a number of Peruvian mummies. Typical of such mummies,
the Lupo body has been placed in a tightly flexed position and
accompanied by grave goods such as pottery jars and brightly
colored cloth. Though the mouth is open, the person did not die
screaming; the jaw bone simply relaxed after death.
