Early Nazca Camelid Textile w/ Munecas Fringe

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Proto to early Nazca, ca. 200 BCE to 200 CE. A square panel made from tightly woven camelid wool (alpaca or llama) and cotton fibers bordered by a superb multi-colored fringe with tassels. The fringe is a continuous piece on 3 sides and the separate edge has large human heads; the tassels forming their hair. These figures are known as muneca (Spanish for "doll") and are knitted rather than woven on a loom ? they might have even been "cross looped" which only requires one needle. A technical piece, that is in fine condition for its age! The arid climate and burial practices preserved textiles, and this was probably laid to rest with the deceased, wrapped around the body as part of a mummy bundle. Size: 28" L x 28" W (71.1 cm x 71.1 cm)

Provenance: private Pine Plains, New York, USA collection, by descent 2012; ex-private collection, New York, USA, acquired before 2000

Condition

Perforations and some small holes to the main panel, discoloration along the creases. The fringe is tearing away from the panel, and some areas are reattached with modern threads. Fraying to the woven figures and fringe. Wool tassels are stiff and fragile. We recommend framing in a case to preserve the textile. Good condition for the age!
