Excerpt from Peruvian Mummies and What They Teach: A Guide to Exhibits in the Peruvian Hall

Artificial deformation of the head was extensively practised in ancient Peru and was accomplished by means of ligatures applied in infancy. The form taken by the head was determined by the manner in which these bindings were applied. The pathological skulls show the ravages of disease in the bones of the cranium.
