Fragment Possibly 1000 - 1532

"Fragment" is a textile fragment created by the artist Ica sometime between 1000 and 1532. The fragment, currently located at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a small but intricately woven piece of cloth with a repeating geometric pattern. The piece is a reminder of the sophisticated textile techniques and design sensibilities present in pre-Columbian cultures. It's possible that this fragment was once part of a larger garment or decorative object.
