Complete panel of warp faced weaving with a warp fringe at both ends. Horizontal yellow bands of hooks and step triangles alternate against a red and black background. The panel is folded and partly seamed along one long side. The other long side has fragments of a similar cloth sewn to it. Warps and wefts are alpaca. Weave structure is a complementary warp weave with 3-span floats in alternate alignment.
The fringe and partial seam indicate this is a side panel with arm opening of a sleeveless tunic. It is similar to south coast tunic (Rowe, fig.79) in colours, materials and weave structure. Rowe suggests such tunics may have been made in the highlands because alpaca, a highland animal, is used for both warp and weft yarns. Another fragment (d'Harcourt, pl. 30a) has a south coast Nazca provenience and a third (d'Harcourt, pl. 21a) is said to come from the central coast.
