- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chimu, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A gorgeous textile panel comprised of tightly-woven camelid (alpaca or llama wool) fibers in a palette of earthtone hues including maroon, fuchsia, wheat, tan, coffee, jet, and cream. The panel displays four smaller rectangular areas depicting a quartet of abstract standing anthropomorphic figures surrounded by undulating waveform motifs. Each figure represents Nayalam the Emperor, the primary deity of creation in Chimu lore, standing upon pronged feet with a triangular body, arms held out to the sides, and wearing a drooping headdress atop a triangular head. Nayalam is also known as the "navigator" due to multiple depictions of the deity sitting inside reed boats while traversing Peru's many waterways. A striking and elegantly-presented textile from ancient Peru! Mounted on a fabric backing. Size (textile): 4.625" W x 25.125" H (11.7 cm x 63.8 cm); size (backing): 19.25" W x 40.5" H (48.9 cm x 102.9 cm).
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Eugene Lions collection, Geneve, Switzerland; ex-Arte Primitivo, New York, New York, USA
