- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Coast of Peru, Chimu, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A stunning textile using a plain weave cotton fiber ground cloth in light beige and supplementary camelid (alpaca or llama wool) fibers! Long-legged, long-necked wading birds facing the same direction are arranged on this main ground cloth- brocaded to create a raised texture using ochre yellow-brown and red hues. Bordering the upper and lower edges are slit tapestry style solid bands, curvilinear brocade motifs, and fringe. Tapestry weaving was considered high quality and luxurious, a textile marker of prestige and wealth. This textile is professionally mounted on a tan cotton over a frame and is ready to be displayed!
