Fragment Possibly 1000 - 1476

"Fragment" is a textile fragment from the Chancay culture of Peru, dating from between 1000 and 1476 AD. The fragment, now housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, features a geometric pattern of stylized figures and a fringe border. It is a testament to the Chancay people's skill in textile production and their use of geometric motifs in their art. The fragment is a significant example of Pre-Columbian Peruvian textile art.
