#Caturday:
Tunic with four felines
Nasca-Wari, 700-850 CE, camelid fiber.
On display at Dumbarton Oaks’ “Clothing for the Afterlife,” an exhibition of burial textiles from the ancient Andes.
“This short, horizontally proportioned tunic - sometimes referred to as a shoulder tunic - was created in the Nasca valley when the region was under Wari influence.
Such cultural mixing is reflected in the hybrid features of this textile. Its decoration is from south coast traditions; the broad outlines around the feline figures and the horizontal bands at the bottom of the tunic are unmistakably Nasca.
Its construction, however, is based on highland technology. The tunic was made from two panels of interlocking tapestries, a technique that was commonly used by Wari weavers. The major losses have been reconstructed based on the design of the original details.”
