Lot of 3 Huari Reed and Wool Fiber Weavings

**Originally Listed At $200**

Pre-Columbian, Peru, Huari/Wari culture, ca. 500 to 1000 CE. A brightly colored group of three woven images made from dyed camelid fiber on a backing of thin reeds. They depict all manner of zoomorphic images, including jaguars. The textiles that are preserved today are often from the desert areas between the Pacific Coast and the Andes; the Wari capital, in the highlands, was too wet to preserve cloth through the centuries, and as a result, textile fragments are quite rare. Size: 6.25" W x 3.45" H (15.9 cm x 8.8 cm)

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany
