EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable panel from Peru, dating back to the years 1000-1476. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece belongs to a series of anthropomorphised monkeys that have become iconic in Peruvian art. The intricate design and vibrant colors make it a true masterpiece. Crafted using cotton and wool camelid slit tapestry weave with eccentric and interlaced outlining wefts, this textile exemplifies the exceptional weaving skills of its time. The edges are beautifully adorned with plain weave extended weft loop fringe, adding an extra touch of elegance to the overall composition. The playful depiction of monkeys in this artwork reflects the rich cultural heritage of South America. Monkeys hold significant symbolism in many indigenous cultures as they represent intelligence, agility, and mischievousness. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery, this panel is a testament to the artistic prowess prevalent during the eleventh through fifteenth centuries. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also gain insights into ancient Peruvian civilization. As we marvel at this unusual yet captivating creation, let us acknowledge both its historical significance and artistic ingenuity. This photograph serves as a window into our past while reminding us of humanity's timeless fascination with animals and their representation in art forms across different continents throughout history.
