EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Mantle Corners, Peru, dating back to the years 1000-1476. Created by an unknown artist during the 11th to 15th centuries, this remarkable piece of American Indian art is a true testament to the rich cultural heritage of South America. The tapestry, made from a combination of cotton and wool camelid slit weave with a band of complementary patterning weft, displays intricate geometric patterns that are both decorative and mesmerizing. The vibrant colors and expertly woven design make it a truly unique textile masterpiece. The mantle itself is adorned with images of felines, symbolizing power and strength in indigenous cultures. These majestic creatures add an element of mystery and allure to the overall composition. Located at the Art Institute Chicago's Art Centre Gallery, this artifact represents not only Peruvian history but also serves as a reminder of our connection to ancient civilizations. Its preservation allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistic skills passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this pre-Columbian treasure, we are transported back in time - imagining those who wore these robes for ceremonial purposes or special occasions. Though its creator remains unknown, their legacy lives on through this extraordinary work of art.
