- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Proto Nazca, ca. 500 to 300 BCE. A stunning and beautiful turbante (Spanish for "turban") of an elongated rectangular form. The textile is composed of tightly-woven camelid (alpaca or llama wool) fibers in hues of crimson, burgundy, citrine, and teal, with the peripheries and midsection made from separately attached strips. The main body features dense swastika or windmill motifs enclosing a pair of highly abstract anthropomorphic figures, perhaps representative of deities or other mythological figures. Turbante examples like this one would have been worn on one's head by winding around the forehead to create an impressive tall headdress. Mounted on museum-quality display fabric. Size (textile): 74.875" L x 11.375" W (190.2 cm x 28.9 cm); size (display fabric): 86" L x 23.75" W (218.4 cm x 60.3 cm).
Sizable textile examples such as this can only survive due to the absolutely dry conditions found in the southern regions of Peru. In regions of Southern Peru and the surrounding areas, rainfall has never been recorded since the Spanish first ventured here in the early 16th century.
