This "Feathered Tunic" is a tapestry created by the Chimú civilization, dating back to the 15th and early 16th centuries. It's an example of intricate textile art, featuring a white background with black figures and birds. The decorative border is a geometric pattern, hinting at the sophisticated designs prevalent in Chimú art. This tunic, now at the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of the Chimú people.
