Description
Pre-Columbian, Southern Peru, ca. 400 to 100 BCE. A group connected textile figures - called muneca from the Spanish for doll. Woven from camelid fiber, this piece has nine stylized figures, all brightly colored in cream, mustard yellow, black, red, green, orange, blue, brown, and teal. Textiles would have been used in this culture in conjunction with polychrome vessels in ceremonies. They were ritual attire and used as display objects, and ultimately in funerary contexts. Mounted on linen and framed. Size (approximate) of textile: 8.75" W x 3" H (22.2 cm x 7.6 cm); size of frame: 12.1" W x 9.1" H (30.7 cm x 23.1 cm).
