"Fragment (Tunic)" is a textile fragment from the Inca period (possibly 1476-1532) and is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. This piece is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the Inca, displaying intricate geometric designs in red, brown, and white on a beige background. This fragment, likely a part of a larger garment, is a beautiful example of Andean textile traditions and offers insights into the aesthetic preferences of this ancient civilization.
