"Circular Tweezers" is a pre-Columbian gold artifact crafted by the Chimú civilization of Peru, dating back to c. 1000-1400. This delicate object, crafted from a single sheet of gold, demonstrates the skillful metalworking techniques of the Chimú, who are renowned for their intricate goldwork. The tweezers were likely used for a variety of purposes, including personal adornment or for manipulating small objects. Today, it is part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, offering a glimpse into the artistry and daily life of the ancient Chimú.
