Carlotta - the museum database
Etiketten berättar att det är ”gravfynd från Peru”. Trasorna som idag ligger huller om buller i lådan har alltså en gång omsorgsfullt begravts tillsammans med människokroppar i Ancón på Perus kust.
Till Ancón kom den svenska Vanadisexpeditionen på 1880-talet, men textilierna är mycket äldre än så. Vanadisexpeditionen hemförde också mumier och kranier från gravområdet. Idag diskuteras hur man ska hantera mänskliga kvarlevor i museisamlingar.
Important to know about the information in the online collection databaseUsers of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
