One complete panel of tie-dyed 'patchwork' tunic. Step triangles, dyed in red, green, and three shades of blue are arranged in radially symmetrical patterns. All colours have resist-dyed designs of small and large circles and bars. The colours line up in diagonal rows. Warp and weft selvedges are almost intact.
This is one of two panels from a distinctive type of tunic usually associated with Middle Horizon cultures. One example from camana has Early Intermediate Period associations (p.c., A. Sawyer). The tunics are widely distributed and Rowe suggests Huari influence is behind the wide distribution. A similar tunic is on the body of an unwound mummy in the Ica Museum, Peru.
The meaning of the step triangle in the Middle Horizon is not clear. William Conklin suggests the step motif on Middle Horizon Huari tapestry tunics means 'mountain' (p.c., Berkeley).
