Description: The book summarizes the pioneer ethnological activities of German-born Peruvian ethnologist, photographer and collector of antiquities Hans Heinrich (Enrique) Brüning (Hoffeld, Germany 1948 - Peru 1928) during his 50-year stay in Lambayeque, as well as the impact of his work on museography, ethnography and cultural management in Peru.

The most important pieces date back more than 10,000 years and the collection includes evidence and representations of the tomb of the Priestess of Chornancap, a ruler and priestess of the highest hierarchy of the Lambayeque elite of the 12th and 13th century AD.C. discovered at the end of 2011 in the Huaca Chotuna-Chornancap.
