Of them, nearly half are textile parts from the Paracas Necropolis period (100 BC - 200 ad) and were found at Wari Kayán cemetery, a vast and sandy area of located on the seafront, of the arid peninsula of Paracas. The exhibition includes "uncus" or tunics, short ponchos, turbans, ribbons, belts, skirts and other textiles, but also nine ceramic of the early period of the neighboring society Nasca -or early Nasca (1-200 a.d.) ?, three pottery vessels of style Topará, 10 metal ornaments, two tombs indicator rods, a fan, a shell necklace, a mallet, a knife, a bone flute and other offerings, including eight textile garments in miniature.
