EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Peruvian craftsmanship. The tunic, dating back to 600-800 AD, is a stunning blend of cotton and wool (camelid), meticulously woven using the single interlocking tapestry technique. Measuring 102.6x113 cm, it resides in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. The intricate details are truly awe-inspiring – from the neck and armholes finished with wool (camelid) overcast stitches to the seams joined together using darning stitches also made from wool (camelid). This exquisite tunic originates from Wari Peru, specifically the south coast Nazca Valley region known as Atarco. The geometric patterns adorning this garment reflect both tribal influences and South American aesthetics. Its polychrome design adds vibrancy and depth to its overall appearance. As a significant part of pre-Columbian history, this textile offers us a glimpse into ancient Peruvian culture. Donated by Mrs. Edwin A. Seipp under restricted circumstances, this artifact serves as an invaluable contribution to our understanding of indigenous clothing traditions in South America. While appreciating its ornate decoration and decorative elements, we must acknowledge that this image is not associated with any commercial use or company. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail in this photograph print, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to marvel at the beauty and historical significance of this extraordinary Peruvian tunic.
