EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable panel, most likely from a mantle, originating from Peru in the 9th century. Created by an unknown artist, this piece is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The intricate design and vibrant colors of this textile reflect the rich artistic heritage of ancient Peru. Crafted using cotton and wool camelid tubular plain weave double cloth with stripes of four-color complementary warp weave, this panel exemplifies the skillful weaving techniques employed by pre-Columbian cultures. The combination of cotton and wool creates a visually striking contrast in texture and adds to the overall allure of the artwork. The decorative elements on this panel are truly mesmerizing. Intricate patterns adorn its surface, showcasing the creativity and attention to detail that went into its creation. Plied warp fringe frames the edges, adding an elegant touch to this already stunning piece. With its origins in Nazca culture, this Peruvian textile represents not only a beautiful work of art but also serves as a testament to South America's rich cultural history. Its presence within the Art Institute's collection allows visitors to appreciate and learn about ancient civilizations through their artistic expressions. As we gaze upon this photograph print capturing every intricate detail, we are reminded that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to inspire awe with their timeless beauty and craftsmanship.
