- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Huari/Wari culture, ca. 6th to 9th century CE. A textile woven in the slit tapestry technique depicting repeated abstract mythological beings. Its threads are vivid colors: red, ochre brown, and black with small areas of white. This was likely part of a man's tunic. Textiles were some of the most valuable items in Wari culture, and they probably exacted them as tribute from the peoples they conquered. This makes it difficult for archaeologists to identify where these beautiful objects were originally woven, because they traveled so much around the Wari Empire. It seems that Wari textiles, like those of the Inca that followed them, were woven on a wide, rectangular frame loom. They were warped on the short direction so the warp would run horizontally when worn as a tunic. Size of textile: 14" W x 9.5" H (35.6 cm x 24.1 cm); size of included original museum frame: 16" W x 12" H (40.6 cm x 30.5 cm)
This ancient textile was formerly in the museum collection of Bernard "Bud" Lueck who assembled his collection of historical objects of the Americas and founded the Heritage of the Americas Museum which is in operation today in El Cajon, California, USA.
Provenance: former Heritage of the Americas Museum which is in operation today in El Cajon, California, U.S.A and includes museum catalog ID card and museum info
