- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Proto Nazca, ca. 500 to 300 BCE. A beautiful turbante ("turban" in Spanish) of a sizable form composed of tightly woven camelid (alpaca or llama wool) fibers in hues of russet, citrine, wheat, and jet-black. The elongated rectangular textile features a myriad of intricate geometric motifs in diamond, triangular, crested wave, cruciform, stepped, and linear motifs with most instances of a light color being placed directly next to a much darker color for added chromatic contrast. Mounted atop a museum-quality display fabric. Size (textile): 59.25" L x 13.25" W (150.5 cm x 33.7 cm); (display fabric): 74.5" L x 29.125" W (189.2 cm x 74 cm)
Sizable textile examples such as this can only survive due to the absolutely dry conditions found in the southern regions of Peru. In regions of Southern Peru and the surrounding areas, rainfall has never been recorded since the Spanish first ventured here in the early 16th century.
Provenance: ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany, collected in 1950 to the 1960s
