Band Possibly 400 - 900

This textile band, likely dating from 400 to 900 CE, is an example of the intricate and symbolic artistry of the Nazca culture. The band is woven with a unique, openwork design that features a series of geometric and zoomorphic motifs, including stylized figures of felines. This band is one of the most recognizable pieces of Nazca textile art, and its geometric patterns, vibrant colors, and fine craftsmanship showcase the artistic sophistication of the Nazca people. It is now housed in The Art Institute of Chicago.
