| Summary: | The article considers the ongoing influence of Inka culture in the Viceroyalty of Peru during the colonial period of circa 1532 to 1825 by focusing on the use of dress pins known as tupu and ttipqui, used to hold clothing in place originally by indigenous peoples, but later adapted and appropriated by Europeans in the Spanish empire. The pins were often made of silver to hold traditional dress, with ttipqui worn as a pair connected by a chain, while tupu were worn singly. |
