"Patch" is a small, intricately woven textile from the Lambayeque culture of northern Peru, dating back to 1000-1476 AD. The textile features a stylized, geometric design, perhaps representing a deity or symbolic figure. The use of bright, contrasting colors like red, blue, and yellow, along with intricate patterns, is characteristic of Lambayeque art. This small "Patch" is a testament to the skill and artistry of ancient Peruvian weavers and offers a glimpse into their cultural beliefs and iconography.
