Paracas Ritual Attire: Symbols of Authority in Ancient Peru (Civilization of the American Indian Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The richly embroidered Paracas fabrics were discovered early in the 20th century by grave robbers who introduced the ritual garments to collectors around the world. Hundreds of these fabrics survive as artistic documents of a society in which cloth and costume were essential forms of visual communication. Paul discusses how the weaving functioned symbolically, conveying information about the world view of ancient Paracas society and the social role of its leaders. Abundantly illustrated with line drawings and color photos. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
