Poncho or Tunic Nasca. Poncho or Tunic, 100-200 C.E. Camelid fiber, 74 7/16 x 27 9/16 in. (189.1 x 70 cm). This large panel is the most elaborate example of the discontinuous warp and weft technique in the Museums collection. With this technique, the warps and wefts on the textile change with every color and weaving session, rather than being continuous along the length and width of the fabric (see diagram). The bold designs on the red background include three large, colorful supernatural beings connected to several smaller figures. The largest figure wears a green and yellow feline pelt and is associated with two mythological animals devouring humans: an anthropomorphic bird and a shark depicted with a human arm. These composite beings combine animals of the natural world with Nasca supernatural deities who keep the world in order. The panel was converted into a poncho in antiquity, when a head opening was made at the center and long tassels were added at the shoulders. ___________

Fragment Made 1000-1476 Peru. The theme of fish is often found in works of art made by the diverse peoples of ancient Peru. Numerous costal cultures embraced marine life, especially the abundance it provided as a primary source of food. In addition, the ocean was associated with the sacred underworld, with many aquatic animals serving as both predatorósuch as the killer whaleóand prey. The centrality of the ocean is clearly expressed by this textile fragment displaying a school of fish. Rows of colorful abstract fish motifs are interspersed with stepped-fret designs, creating a visually rhythmic pattern and an expression of the seaís bounty.. Cotton and wool (camelid), slit tapestry weave with eccentric wefts .
