EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tunic from Peru, dating back to the years between 1000 and 1476. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece of clothing is a true testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region. The tunic features intricate appliqué work with small panels made of cotton and wool camelid fabrics. The use of slit and single interlocking tapestry weaves adds depth and texture to the design, while cotton and wool camelid slit tapestry weave medallions create a striking focal point. Every detail in this garment reflects exceptional craftsmanship. The bottom band is edged in plain weave with extended weft fringe, adding a touch of elegance to its overall appearance. Additionally, the neck edging is adorned with cotton cord embroidered with wool camelid in cross knit loop stitches. The vibrant colors used in this tunic are truly mesmerizing; they bring life and energy to every inch of fabric. This unique blend of color creates an eye-catching contrast against the backdrop of cotton open plain weave. As you admire this ancient masterpiece captured through photography, it becomes evident that it represents not only Peruvian culture but also serves as a window into fashion trends during the eleventh through fifteenth centuries. Displayed at an art institute or gallery like the Art Institute Chicago, this tunic stands as a symbol of creativity transcending time and continents—a true celebration of artistry across generations.
