About the Item
A large Pre-Columbian textile fragment with geometrical tie dye motifs from Wari culture (circa 450 to 1000 AD), a Middle Horizon civilization that flourished in the south-central Andes and coastal area of modern-day Peru.

On the bright red background, thin triple-line horizontal bands cross the piece in regular spacing. Tie dye technique was used to add diamond shaped motifs across the surface. This shape was common in the tie dye Wari textile and was possibly carries a cosmic symbolism.
