- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Chancay culture, ca. 800 to 1200 CE. A fascinating assortment of weaving implements including 7 wooden needles with pottery whorl beads attached to 3 of them, a wooden spindle with a skein of camelid wool thread, and a wooden shuttle. Included with the tools are two textiles: a woven sling and a belt. The needles are each hand-carved from wood with pointed tips and painted rings around the central areas. Three have movable spindle whorl beads with geometric or zoomorphic designs, and a fourth has a wooden embellishment carved directly out of the needle. These needles were used in the practice of textile weaving. The sling is known as a "honda" comprised of tightly-woven camelid (alpaca or llama wool) fibers in hues of coffee and cream. The lengthy braided straps extend and taper from the central projectile holder. The holder is intentionally split down the center to hold larger projectile items. When not in use, the sling would be worn as a belt. The other woven textile is made of blue, white, and pink threads woven to create broad band to use as a strap or belt. This is an amazing collection of the tools and completed pieces made by skilled weavers. Needles are relatively the same size: 9.5" L x 0.125" W (24.1 cm x 0.3 cm); sling: 76" L x 0.5" W (193 cm x 1.3 cm)
Provenance: ex-Drimmer collection, Florida, USA, before 1965
