Nasca Needlepoint Rug

Monday, August 01, 2011
In Pre-Columbian traditions, nature and culture were one. Their heritage is rich with intense symbols and identification with the animal world. This pattern represents the sea and the fish and killer whales which were a part of everyday life in the Andean culture when they fished for food. Or is this an allegory describing the struggle between rival chiefdoms or regions?





This Nasca textile portrays an ocean teeming with marine warriors and will create an extraordinary piece for a wall or as an area rug.
