- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Ica culture, ca.9th century CE. Nicely framed textile panels comprised of tightly-woven camelid (alpaca or llama wool) fibers in hues of crimson, azure blue, cream, and almond beige. One panel presents several rows of alternating colored squares, perhaps part of a checkerboard motif; adjacent to it is another band presenting stylized zoomorphic and anthropomorphic faces. These are set against a larger blue and orange striped panel within a nice frame for display. In addition, one panel has a short fringe that matches the striped pattern of the larger background textile. The hues were created with natural vegetal dyes - red likely from cochineal and the blue from indigo as indicated on verso. Size (smaller panel) 3.75" W x 14.5" H (9.5 cm x 36.8 cm); (larger panel): 6.625" W x 17.375" H (16.8 cm x 44.1 cm); (display frame): 8.5" W x 19.25" H (21.6 cm x 48.9 cm)
