Peruvian Mummy

This male mummy, with metal plates placed over his eyes, was found in the ancient Peruvian town of Rontoy in June 2008.
The mummy was buried with metal plates over his eyes and one in his mouth, shown here.
A black tattoo follows the angle of the mummy's knee joint. Tattoos are usually found on elite people, said Kit Nelson, who is currently unraveling the mummy with her colleagues.
Upon examining the mummy's right arm and hand, researchers found the mummy clutched an empty woolen bag and two loops of yarn.
A pre-Columbian mummy was found in Peru's ancient city of Rontoy, in the Huaura River Valley.
