Small rectangle of brown cotton cloth veneered on one face with stem stitch embroidery. Frontal view of brown bodied creature with yellow and green wings and blue ears set against a red background. Two adjacent finished edges and two cut edges. Z-spun, and two plied s yarns.
The border fragment belongs to a garment of the type found in the Paracas necropolis burials. Numerous garments, some in matched sets of kilts, mantles, shoulder poncho and loincloth are found together in a single mummy bundle; together with pelts, fans, and other small articles. Textiles of this type appear to have been made specifically for elite burials (Dwyer), as they appear not to have been used. Some are unfinished.
The figure may be a bat (p.c., A.R. Sawyer) or an anthropomorphized version of one. Bats are depicted in the earlier Chavinoid Style but their meaning is unclear.
