This textile fragment, created by the Nazca people, depicts three stylized birds in a repetitive pattern on a burgundy background. The birds are rendered in a simple, geometric style with elongated necks and bodies, and their wings are represented by rows of hatched lines. This piece, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the Nazca's mastery of textile design and their focus on symbolic representations of animals and natural elements.
