This Chancay "Fragment" (750-1100) is a colorful textile woven with intricate geometric patterns. Depicting stylized figures of mythical beasts on a rich red background, the piece demonstrates the skill and artistry of the Chancay culture of ancient Peru. The tapestry, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this pre-Columbian civilization, known for its distinctive textiles and ceramics.
