Bag Possibly 1476 - 1532

This small, intricately woven bag, dated to the late 15th or early 16th century, is a fine example of Inca textile art. The "Bag" is a tapestry-woven textile with a complex geometric design that incorporates a range of colors, including red, brown, yellow, green, and white. This example of Inca textile art showcases the mastery of the artisans who created it. Today, it is a treasured piece of cultural heritage at The Art Institute of Chicago.
