Fabric fragment with heraldic lily and bird motif
Stylized irises form the centre of the textile. These are associated with the Blessed Mother and stand for purity and innocence. Next to it, the tripartite plant symbolises the Trinity of the Christian God. In allusion to their patron saint Mary, medieval knights declared the lily to be their heraldic flower. The Spanish Bourbon kings, who came to power in the 18th century, also used it to decorate their emblems. In addition to these European elements, a large number of Andean animals can be found on the textile. Even though the indigenous nobles, the descendants of the Incas, no longer had political power, they still played a major role in the colonial period. They ensured that the textile tradition of the Incas was continued. Motifs from the Inca period were mixed with European motifs. Wall hangings and carpets were made, but also clothes that still contained the t'ocapu of the Incas as decoration.
