Wari artifacts to go on display at Casa Garcilazo

Cusco, Feb. 24 (ANDINA). The Wari artifacts discovered near the Andean district of Vilcabamba in Cusco will be exhibited for fifteen days at the city's Museo Casa Garcilaso.
Casa Gacilaso is one of the most visited museums in Cusco and is located in the same house where Inca Garcilaso de la Vega used to live, two blocks away from the main square.

Furthermore, Garcia announced that he will request the help from national and international scientific community to continue with the archaeological researches, as the discovery of the Lord of Wari would be as important as that of the Lord of Sipan.

In turn, Deputy Culture Minister Bernardo Roca Rey noted that they will take extreme security measures in the discovery site to prevent the stealing of the artifacts found in the tomb.

Some of the discovered artifacts include a silver breastplate, a silver mask, two golden bracelets, two wooden sceptres covered with silver, an ornament made with 234 silver sheets and three necklaces made with beautiful stones among others.
