The most widespread story about the origin of the Tumi is that the figure on the handle represents King Naylamp, a mythical character who would have arrived on the coast from beyond the sea.
Naylamp arrived in boats, accompanied by a large group of people and, according to legend, proceeded to found the Lambayeque Kingdom (pre-Inca period) and share his knowledge with the natives of the area.
This knowledge would include different crafts and artistic trades. The ancient stories assure that the king Naylamp possessed divine blood, therefore he was immortal. When he felt the weight of the years upon him, he abandoned his human form and ascended to heaven as a bird.
