EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Lower Border Garment from the Central Andes, dating back to the period between 1000 and 1470s. Created by the skilled hands of the Chimu or Lambayeque (Sican) people, this exquisite tapestry is a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship. Measuring at an impressive overall size of 9.2 x 135.9 cm (3 5/8 x 53 1/2 in. ), this lower border garment is made from a combination of wool and cotton threads intricately woven together. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns adorning this piece reflect the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of its creators. The Central Andes region has long been renowned for its mastery in textile production, and this stunning tapestry exemplifies that legacy. Each stitch tells a story, each thread represents generations of knowledge passed down through time. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back to ancient times when these garments were worn with pride by individuals belonging to the Chimu or Lambayeque (Sican) communities. This print serves as a window into their world - one filled with beauty, creativity, and reverence for tradition. Preserved with care by Liszt Collection, it allows us to appreciate not only the skillful artistry but also serves as a reminder of our shared human history. Let us cherish these treasures that connect us across time and celebrate the ingenuity of those who came before us.
