Pre-Columbian, Central / South Coast Peru, Pachacamac culture, ca. 1000 CE. A beautiful coca bag that is composed of tightly woven natural cotton fibers in vibrant hues of wheat, crimson, fuchsia, sky blue, and coffee. The coca bag is opened down the middle and presents a pair of highly abstract zoomorphic creatures with a curled tail, slender legs, a feline head, and perhaps even minimalist wings sprouting from the back. Several abstract linear forms fill the spaces around the creatures, and one periphery displays a repeating register of mirrored, red-and-blue step motifs. Mounted on a modern fabric panel and sewn to a museum-quality display fabric. Size (textile): 10" L x 6.75" W (25.4 cm x 17.1 cm); (display fabric): 17.2" L x 13" W (43.7 cm x 33 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany, acquired from 1950 to 1970
