Border fragment, figures with staves 4th-3rd century B.C. Paracas This bold strip of fabric was part of a decorative border for a garment from the ancient Peruvian culture of Paracas. The base layer is woven from camelid hair in a plain weave. The woven layer is completely concealed by careful embroidery of stem stitches that form blocks of red, green, blue, and yellow. Each block depicts a humanoid figure that sticks out its tongue, revealing two rows of straight teeth. The dazzling eyes, comprised of concentric circles, resemble those of the Oculate Being,” a supernatural creature seen on early Paracas textiles. Each figure appears to wear a turban—a garment worn on the head with a long train that hangs over the back—and a skirt with a fringed or tabbed hem. (Turbans and skirts are two types of Paracas garments that feature embroidered borders.) Each figure carries a staff, or perhaps two separate items in each hand. Ancient Paracas textiles, which date to between 700 B.C. and 200 A
