"Tassel," a textile piece created by the Nazca culture, dates back to 500-900 AD. It's a striking example of intricate textile techniques from the ancient Nazca civilization. The tassel showcases a complex geometric pattern woven in shades of turquoise and beige, likely made from cotton and alpaca wool. This piece, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into the artistic mastery and craftsmanship of the Nazca people.
