Ancient Peruvian Figures Merino Wool Scarf
An art scarf inspired by The Met collection.
Our timeless scarf pays homage to a Peruvian textile fragment made between the years 450 and 175 BCE and now in The Met's Michael C. Rockefeller Wing. Ancient Peruvian textiles display a remarkable sensitivity to the complexities of structure, pattern, and color. This particular fragment, part of the border of an embroidered mantle, depicts two backbent figures that alternate positions. Thought to represent the same skeletonized figure, they have been variously described as falling, floating, flying, dancing, and drowning.
