This textile fragment, titled "Patch," is a rare example of Lambayeque weaving from northern Peru, dating back to 1000 - 1476 CE. The intricate design features a central figure, possibly a deity or an important person, holding two staffs, standing on a platform with stylized rays emanating from its base. The figure's attire, featuring a distinctive headdress and patterned clothing, showcases the Lambayeque's unique artistic style. The use of rich colors, intricate geometric patterns, and detailed figure representations contribute to the overall visual complexity of this small but significant artwork. This piece is a valuable window into the cultural and artistic practices of the Lambayeque people and their connection to the supernatural realm.
