NAZCA MANTLE FRAGMENT<br />

SOUTH COAST<br />

Ca. A. D. 300-500<br />

Belonging to a large mantle woven in<br />

camelid wool with rows of abstract and<br />

stylized anthropomorphic faces with<br />

a profusion of heads issuing from the<br />

central face in a repetitive cryptic style in<br />

tomato red, saff ron yellow, green, shades<br />

of blue, brown and white.<br />

The multitude of faces might represent<br />

an extremely abstract version of the major<br />

Nazca deity in his feline incarnation.<br />
