A framed golden relief of the Tiwanaku "Gateway of the Sun" figure, identified as Wiraqucha, is displayed. The anthropomorphic, stylized figure is depicted frontally, holding a staff-like implement in each hand. Its head features large, stylized eyes, a wide mouth, and a complex headdress with integrated facial motifs. The body is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and smaller figures, standing on a stepped base. The relief is crafted from a reflective, gold-colored metal, mounted against a polished white marble background with subtle grey veining. A dark brown wooden frame encloses the entire piece, under a protective transparent layer showing reflections of an individual and rectangular window panes, indicating an indoor setting. A small, brass-colored plaque below the relief states "Wiraqucha" and describes it in Spanish as "The central figure carved in the Gateway of the Sun in Tiwanaku, is an anthropomorphic representation of the sun." Based on the request, this object is displayed indoors in a public or cultural institution within the city of La Paz, Bolivia; however, its precise address or specific building name within La Paz is not discernible from the provided image.
