Two Tapestry-woven Panel Fragments, 1000-1460s. Creator: Unknown

Two Tapestry-woven Panel Fragments, 1000-1460s. These two fragments, mounted side-by-side, come from the Chimu Empire of Perus north coast. Each features horizontal rows containing four frontal figures. The rows alternate with wider registers, each with an H shape that represents a litter seen from above. A form of transport reserved for only the most esteemed members of society, the litter would have been carried by human porters via poles at each corner. The object hovering above the litter has not been identified. Scattered around this centerpiece are small creatures, including birds, a fish (beneath the litter), and two insect-like creatures posed as if they are carrying the litter
