This textile panel from the Lambayeque culture of Northern Peru, dating from 1000 to 1476, features a geometric design of repeating triangles, possibly depicting pyramids, with a meander pattern interspersed. The intricate weaving is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the Lambayeque artisans. The panel is likely a fragment of a larger textile, and its presence in the Art Institute of Chicago is a testament to the enduring legacy of pre-Columbian textile art.
