- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Proto Nazca, Huari, Chancay, Chimu, and Inca cultures, ca. 500 BCE to 1533 CE. A lovely gathering of 6 colorful textile fragments as well as a coca bag, all comprised of tightly woven cotton or camelid wool fibers in polychrome hues. First is a Proto Nazca strip with 6 ovoid protrusions lining a colorful body that terminates in a braided tassel. Next is a slender Huari strip with abstract eye-form motifs within pink, blue, yellow, and green rectangles. The Chancay textiles include a panel fragment with abstract red and yellow motifs; an L-shaped fragment with abstract fish and anthropomorphs; and a circular artifact with threads twisted around slender wooden rods. The largest piece is a Chimu scarf or burial linen with a brown body lined on the ends with spirals and abstract birds. The Inca coca bag features a pair of pouches that can be worn like a vest via two thick shoulder straps. Size of largest (Chancay scarf): 72.5" L x 15" W (184.2 cm x 38.1 cm)
