- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Pachacamac culture, ca. 200 to 1000 CE. A lovely polychrome textile panel comprised of tightly-woven natural (camelid or alpaca wool) fibers in hues of crimson, gold, wheat, espresso, coffee, and teal. Three primary columns comprise the decorative designs with each displaying the same abstract images side by side. The decorative motifs include: a large bear-like face enclosed within a pair of serpentine borders; a small anthropomorphic figure hovering above a smiling, three-eyed face with enormous horns; a stylized frog with a rectangular face and sinuous limbs; a janus-headed serpent with stippled decorations; and several horizontal bars above a sewn border. The columns are presented in either red-and-yellow, brown-and-gold, or teal-and-brown color schemes, making this a vibrant and intriguing example from ancient Peru! Mounted on a beige-hued fabric backing. Size (textile): 10" W x 18" H (25.4 cm x 45.7 cm); Size (fabric backing): 17.75" W x 25.5" H (45.1 cm x 64.8 cm).
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private H. J. Westermann collection, Germany, acquired between 1960 and 1970
