This is a photograph of a museum exhibit about ancient mummies from the Arica region of Chile. The exhibit is divided into two sections: "MOMIAS NEGRAS (CA. 5000 – 3000 A.C.)" and "MOMIAS ROJAS (CA. 2500 – 2000 A.C.)". Each section features a photograph of a mummified human body and accompanying text describing the mummification process. The "MOMIAS NEGRAS" section displays a close-up of a mummified head, showing cracked and desiccated skin, with dark hair. The text explains that this mummification technique involved removing internal organs and musculature, reinforcing the skeleton with wooden sticks and vegetal fiber ropes, and then remodeling the body with gray clay, often covered with the individual's own skin or animal skins. The head was reattached and adorned with a mask and a short black wig, with the entire body painted with a manganese oxide patina giving it a bluish-black color. The "MOMIAS ROJAS" section features a photograph of a mummified body lying on a textured surface, appearing reddish-brown with dark hair. The text details that this process began with incisions in the stomach, shoulder, groin, and ankles to remove organs and musculature. Longitudinal wooden pieces were inserted to reinforce the body, and cavities were filled with earth, feathers, and clays. The brain was removed, the cranial cavity filled, and the head adorned with a long black wig secured with a manganese oxide cap. Finally, incisions were sutured, and the body, except for the face, was painted with iron oxide, resulting in a striking red body with a black face. The overall setting appears to be indoors, likely a museum, with a yellow background on the right side of the image. The lighting is even, suggesting artificial light. The focus is on the historical and cultural significance of these ancient mummies. in Arica, Chile
