Description
**Originally Listed At $2000**
Pre-Columbian, North/Central Coast Peru, Trujillo region, Moche, ca. 100 to 500 CE. An attractive textile panel of a sizable form composed of tightly woven camelid (alpaca or llama wool) fibers in hues of teal, espresso, russet, wheat, and fuchsia. The two halves of the textile are sewn together in the middle and create a wondrous triangular motif that eventually becomes uneven near one end. Each of the triangular patterns are formed from dozens of miniature abstract deer figures with attenuated legs, stocky bodies, and raised heads with knob-shaped antlers. Mounted atop a museum-quality display fabric. Size (textile): 27.75" L x 8.125" W (70.5 cm x 20.6 cm); (display fabric): 44" L x 23.75" W (111.8 cm x 60.3 cm).
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany
