EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to Mantle, Peru during the years 100 B. C. to A. D. 200. Created by an unknown artist, this remarkable piece showcases a human figure motif adorned with a striking headdress and ear ornaments. In their hands, they carry a pampas cat, both figures displaying protruding tongues. The intricate details of this artwork are truly mesmerizing. The corners of the mantle are edged with weft-faced plain weave and extended ground weft fringe, while the entire fabric is embroidered in cross knit loop stitches and stem stitches. The vibrant colors and patterns add depth and character to this ancient textile. It's fascinating to observe how clothing played such an important role in expressing cultural identity during that era. This Peruvian garment reflects the unique style and design prevalent at that time. As we admire this piece from centuries ago, it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and artistic traditions passed down through generations. It also highlights the incredible skill of ancient Peruvian artisans who mastered techniques like weaving wool camelid plain weave with such precision. Displayed proudly in an art gallery or institute like the Art Institute Chicago, this photograph print allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within South American culture. Overall, this image captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time – a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of our ancestors who continue to inspire us today.
