Mummy Mask c. 200

This "Mummy Mask" from the Paracas culture, dating back to c. 200, showcases a fascinating example of textile art. It's a small, intricately woven piece depicting two stylized figures and other geometric designs, likely worn as part of burial rituals by the Paracas people of ancient Peru. The mask is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, offering a glimpse into the sophisticated artistry of this pre-Columbian culture.
