What Was This Owl Shield Made to Protect?

This stunning ceremonial shield—crafted by the Moche culture in northern Peru—features a near-3D owl with movable wings and head. Made from gilded copper, shells, and beads, it reflects the Moche’s extraordinary metalwork and symbolic artistry. Now housed at The Met, it dates back over XXXXX years.
