A woven and embroidered headband depicting six figures, each with a trophy head attached to their waist and a sacrificial weapon on their left arm. The subject is classic Nazca, with armed warriors holding trophy heads, and could also be sacrificial priests. Here, the figures are dressed in fringed ponchos and wear high headdresses that resemble feather crowns. The sacrificers' weapons, attached by a strap and hanging from their left arm, answering to each trophy-head, also resemble birds. The hidden, double meaning of things is widely observed in Peru's ancient arts, and particularly appreciated in the Wari culture. Particular attention is often required to the different levels of reading, allowing us to catch a glimpse, and better enlighten us, of the subtle spirituality of the artists and the spirit of the beliefs of these past civilizations. However, it's difficult to pinpoint the period and region of origin of this beautiful fragment, which was probably part of an ancient burial mantle or headdress, given the successive and overlapping styles and contributions from one culture to another in the great textile arts, which undoubtedly represent an essential and often founding art of pre-Hispanic art in Peru. Nazca or Proto Nazca, 100 BC to 800 AD, or Wari 600 to 1000 AD, Peru Fabric, llama or alpaca wool, probably minor restorations, framed and mounted under glass. 37 x 13.5 cm (for the weaving) and 50 x 26 cm (for the frame under glass) See : Animal Myth and Magic, Images from Pre-Columbian Textiles, Vanessa Drake Moraga, Ed.
