This "Panel," attributed to the Lambayeque culture, is a remarkable example of ancient Peruvian textile art. Dated between 1000 and 1476 AD, this fragment features a complex geometric design with stylized figures and plant motifs, woven in vibrant hues of red, gold, and green. This intricate tapestry, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into the rich artistic traditions of the Lambayeque civilization.
