Turban ribbon

This textile could have been a turban-like type of headgear or part of a larger textile. Unfortunately, old Peruvian textiles were often cut up to separate the multi-coloured, elaborately worked parts from a single-coloured one. The colouring and the abstract motifs point to Late Nazca, a culture on the southern coast of Peru.
