"Poncho" is a textile created by the Inca artist Chuquibamba between 1476 and 1532. Composed of a repeating pattern of small squares, the piece is a fine example of Inca weaving techniques. The vibrant red and yellow colors, created with natural dyes, evoke the rich cultural heritage of the Inca civilization. Now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this poncho offers a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of pre-Columbian Peru.
