This is a "Tassel" created by the Nazca people of Peru, dating back to between 500 and 900 CE. The intricately woven textile features a geometric pattern of squares and meanders in shades of yellow, red, and blue. The tassel was likely a decorative element used in clothing or ritual objects, showcasing the artistic skill and cultural traditions of the Nazca civilization. The piece is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
