Panel 1000 - 1476

This "Panel" is a striking example of pre-Columbian textile art from the Rimac culture, dating back to 1000-1476. The piece, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a central figure with a stylized human-like form surrounded by a multitude of smaller figures. This complex and repetitive pattern reflects the intricate geometric designs characteristic of ancient Peruvian textiles. The use of vibrant colors like browns, greens, and blues further enhances the visual appeal of this small but powerful artwork.
