This panel comes from the Chimú society of ancient Peru. They maintained the largest and most important political system in Peru before the Inca.
This panel is a tapestry, a piece of thick fabric with images woven into it. Tapestry was considered a high-prestige cloth in ancient Peru as elsewhere in the world. This panel has been cut from a larger garment, perhaps the tie end of a loincloth.
Due to a lack of archaeological information, it is not clear what this panel was used for. It might have been worn, hung on a wall, or buried with the dead. Look at the three large figures in this panel. They are wearing a crescent-shaped headdress that indicates supernatural status. These kinds of headdresses have been found in the tombs of elite Peruvian figures.
Many traditional textiles convey important social, political, and religious messages through the material and images as well as the purpose of use. Think about how and when we use clothing to elevate the importance of present-day social, political, or religious events.
