Fragment (Border) Possibly 700 - 900

This fragment of a Nazca textile from the 7th to 9th centuries is a fascinating example of ancient Andean weaving. The intricate design features stylized figures and geometric patterns, woven with remarkable precision and skill. The fringe at the bottom adds a decorative touch and is evidence of the craftsmanship of the Nazca people. This textile fragment, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, provides insight into the artistic traditions of the Nazca culture, known for their complex iconography and textiles.
