Panel 1000 - 1476

This small, intricately woven textile panel, dating back to the 1000 to 1476 period, is an example of Pre-Columbian textile art from the Rimac culture in Peru. It showcases a geometric design featuring stylized figures, including a central figure holding a staff, surrounded by animals and fish. This panel, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into the ancient weaving traditions of the Rimac people and their reverence for the natural world.
