EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Band Fragments, Peru, 1000 / 1476" takes us on a journey through time and culture. Created by an unknown artist, these band fragments offer a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of ancient Peru. Dating back to the 11th to 15th centuries, these American Indian artifacts showcase intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail. The selvage weft loop fringe adds texture and depth to the cotton and wool camelid slit tapestry weave. The extended uncut looped and plied weft fringes further enhance the decorative appeal of this piece. The vibrant colors used in this artwork reflect the vibrancy of South America's cultural landscape. The patterned design embroidered with cotton and wool camelid using laid-in couching technique demonstrates the skillful mastery of textile artistry prevalent during that era. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artifact serves as a testament to indigenous creativity and innovation. It is a tangible link connecting us with our pre-Columbian past while celebrating Peruvian heritage. As we admire this remarkable object, let us appreciate its significance as more than just an art piece; it represents a living history embedded within each thread. These band fragments are not merely decorative but serve as reminders of our shared human experience across continents and generations.
