Cap with four tips, multicoloured
The caps, made for Huari dignitaries, are made with a single continuous thread using a needle. The threads of the decorative elements are worked in at the same time and then embroidered as motifs at the end. This looping of different threads is a typical Andean technique. It reflects the state of being interwoven, the complementary opposites. The Andean region can only be understood as a cultural space if the mountainous region is not considered isolated, but rather includes the Pacific Ocean with the Humboldt Current, the coast, and the subtropical and tropical Andean East. It is only through the interaction of these four geographical areas that the cultural development in the central Andes region can be understood. This close connection is very often reflected in the objects produced there.
